Ep 3. Dwight Howard's Slamming Snake Tank

Dwight Howard's Slamming Snake Tank is the third episode of season 13 of the hit television series Tanked. The episode follows the team of experts at Acrylic Tank Manufacturing (ATM) as they take on a unique challenge from their newest customer, Dwight Howard of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Howard, a big fan of snakes, has a collection of rare and exotic snakes that he wants to showcase in his home. He has requested a custom-built tank that not only houses his collection but also incorporates a basketball hoop and a slam dunk feature for his pet snake, Goliath.

Brett Raymer and Wayde King, the co-owners of ATM, are excited to take on this unusual project and show off their creativity and expertise. The team puts their heads together and begins to design an impressive custom tank for Howard's snakes.

The tank measures 12 feet long and 6 feet deep and is made of clear acrylic. It has a basketball hoop mounted onto one of the walls and a custom-made ledge for Goliath to climb onto so that he can slam dunk a mini basketball into the hoop.

To give the tank a unique look, the team decides to add a jungle theme to it. They create a background of vines and trees using a special airbrushing technique. In addition, they add rocks and logs throughout the tank to give it a more natural feel.

To make sure that the tank is not only visually stunning but also safe for the snakes, the team puts in a lot of effort. The tank is divided into two sections, with one section containing a heat lamp for the snakes to bask in, and the other colder section to keep the humidity levels low.

The team also installs a state-of-the-art filtration system that keeps the tank clean and the water healthy for the snakes. They make sure that the tank has proper lighting, temperature, and humidity levels to ensure the snakes can thrive.

The highlight of the episode is when Howard visits the ATM facility to check out the progress of the tank. He is thrilled with what he sees and can't wait to see Goliath slam dunking inside of the tank.

The tension rises when the team attempts to move the tank out of the ATM workshop and into Howard's home. The tank is so large that getting it through the door proves to be a challenge. The team has to disassemble parts of the tank and maneuver it carefully through the door.

In the end, the team successfully installs the tank in Howard's home. The finished product is incredibly impressive and exceeds Howard's expectations. The tank not only houses his prized snake collection but also captures the essence of Howard's love for basketball.

Dwight Howard's Slamming Snake Tank is a fun and engaging episode of Tanked. It showcases the creativity and expertise of the ATM team as they create a unique and entertaining tank for their customer. The episode is a must-watch for anyone who loves snakes, basketball, or just appreciates a good aquarium.
