Ep 2. San Francisco Giants Tank

In Tanked season 13 episode 2, entitled "San Francisco Giants Tank," the team at Acrylic Tank Manufacturing (ATM) is tasked with creating an impressive tank for the San Francisco Giants baseball team.

The episode begins with Wayde King and Brett Raymer, the owners of ATM, visiting Oracle Park, home of the San Francisco Giants. They meet with Lou Seal, the team's mascot, who requests a tank to be installed in the Giants' kid's zone. The tank will be used as an educational tool for children to learn about marine life and marine conservation.

Back at ATM, the team gets to work designing the tank, which will have a baseball theme. They plan to create an ultra-realistic baseball field on the bottom of the tank, complete with the Giants' logo. The tank will also feature a replica of the Golden Gate Bridge and a miniature cable car to add to the San Francisco feel.

As with any ATM project, the team faces some challenges. The tank needs to fit into a particular corner of the kid's zone, so the team has to make sure it is the right size. They also decide to use acrylic for the tank, which is more challenging to work with than glass. However, the team feels that acrylic will give them the flexibility to design the tank the way they want it.

Once the initial design is complete, the team begins construction. They build a custom-made stand for the tank and begin the process of bending and welding the acrylic panels together. The team then adds the baseball field to the bottom of the tank and carefully scribes the Giants' logo into the acrylic.

Once the tank is complete, the team loads it onto a flatbed truck and heads to Oracle Park to install it. Installing the tank proves to be a challenge, as it is up several flights of stairs, and the installation has to be done during game day. The ATM team works quickly to get the tank set up before the game begins, and the final result is impressive.

The finished product is a stunning 700-gallon aquarium that features a baseball field at the bottom, a replica of the Golden Gate Bridge, a miniature cable car, and various marine life, including jellyfish, starfish, and crabs. The tank is a hit with the Giants' fans and the kids in the kid's zone.

The "San Francisco Giants Tank" episode of Tanked is a must-watch for fans of the show. The challenges faced by the team at ATM make for an exciting and entertaining episode, and the finished tank is truly remarkable. It's an excellent example of how creativity and innovation can be used to create something truly extraordinary.
