Tanked is an American reality television series that follows two brothers-in-law, Wayde King and Brett Raymer, who run a company called Acrylic Tank Manufacturing (ATM). In each episode, the duo meets with clients who want to build unique and elaborate aquariums. They then design and construct the tanks, often incorporating special features like moving parts, hidden cameras, and high-tech filtration systems.
Season 8, Episode 10 of Tanked is called Wilmer Valderrama. The episode features actor and producer Wilmer Valderrama, best known for his role as Fez on the popular sitcom That '70s Show. Valderrama has always been an animal lover, and he wants to create a one-of-a-kind aquarium for his LA home, inspired by his Latin roots and his love of music.
King and Raymer meet with Valderrama to discuss his vision for the tank. Valderrama wants a tank that feels like a party, with brightly colored fish and a salsa dancing theme. King and Raymer suggest building a custom tank in the shape of a conga drum, with a lifelike sculpture of Valderrama dancing on top.
The team gets to work designing and building the tank, which proves to be a complex engineering feat. They have to make sure the tank can support the weight of the sculpture, and that the water parameters will be suitable for the fish that Valderrama wants to include. They also have to incorporate a sound system and lighting to create the party atmosphere that Valderrama desires.
Along the way, King and Raymer face some unexpected challenges. The sculpture of Valderrama arrives from the artist in a few different pieces, and they have to figure out how to put it all together before installing it on the tank. The filtration system they install turns out to be too powerful for the delicate fish Valderrama has chosen, so they have to find a workaround that will keep the water clean without harming the animals.
Despite the obstacles, the team manages to complete the tank in time for a big reveal party at Valderrama's house. They transport the massive drum-shaped tank through the streets of LA on a flatbed truck, causing quite a stir along the way. When they arrive at Valderrama's house, they carefully unload the tank and install it in the living room.
Valderrama is thrilled with the final result. The conga drum tank is a true work of art, with colorful fish swimming around the lifelike sculpture of Valderrama dancing on top. The sound system and lighting create a festive atmosphere, and Valderrama can't wait to show it off to his friends and family.
Overall, Tanked season 8 episode 10 is a fun and entertaining installment of the popular reality series. The team's creativity and technical expertise are put to the test as they bring Valderrama's vision to life. Viewers will enjoy watching the process unfold, from the initial design phase to the final reveal, and seeing the impressive finished product is sure to impress.
