The popular Animal Planet television series, "Tanked," returned for its 15th season with a brand new episode entitled "Clay Matthews' Green Bay Eel Tank." In this episode, the team at Acrylic Tank Manufacturing (ATM) is tasked with creating a unique and captivating eel tank for former Green Bay Packers linebacker, Clay Matthews.
Matthews and his wife, Casey Noble, set out to acquire a stunning centerpiece for their living room in their home in California. As avid animal lovers, the couple decides to opt for an eel tank, but not just any eel tank—a Green Bay Packers themed eel tank.
The design team at ATM, comprised of brothers-in-law Brett Raymer and Wayde King, sets out to create the ultimate eel tank that meets Matthews' specifications. The goal is to create a tank unlike any other, with a unique design that showcases the Packers' colors and logo while also providing a comfortable and spacious home for the eels.
To start the process, the design team takes precise measurements of the Matthews' living room, ensuring that the tank is the perfect size and fit for the space. Next, they begin creating a unique design that will fulfill Matthews' request for a tank that showcases the Green Bay Packers. Using a combination of green and gold hues, the team creates a stunning backdrop for the tank, with the Packers logo prominently featured in the centerpiece.
Once the design is finalized, the team begins constructing the tank using the latest in acrylic and glass technology. The tank is created to be durable, sturdy, and above all, comfortable for the eels. The team adds unique features such as LED lighting, realistic backgrounds, and a filtration system that keeps the water fresh and clean.
But creating the perfect tank is only half the battle. The team must also select the right type of eel for the tank. The goal is to find a species of eel that not only flourishes in the tank's environment but also complements the Green Bay Packers theme. The team opts for an electric eel, a unique and rarely seen species that adds a whole new level of excitement to the tank.
As the tank nears completion, the team must face several challenges, including a last-minute issue with the Packers' logo and a problem with the tank's filtration system. But the team perseveres and overcomes each challenge, ensuring that the tank is safe, functional, and aesthetically pleasing.
Finally, the big day arrives, and the team travels to California to install the tank in the Matthews' home. Matthews and Noble are blown away by the final product, and the electric eel becomes an instant hit with family and friends.
Overall, "Clay Matthews' Green Bay Eel Tank" is a compelling and exciting episode that showcases the skill and creativity of the team at ATM. With stunning visuals, unique designs, and an electric eel that steals the show, the episode is sure to entertain and impress both Packers fans and animal lovers alike.
