Ep 4. Medievil Protection

In Tanked season 8 episode 4, titled "Medievil Protection," viewers are taken on a journey through time as the team at Acrylic Tank Manufacturing (ATM) creates a tank fit for a king. The episode begins with co-owners Brett Raymer and Wayde King meeting with a client, Jeff Payne, who is in need of a custom tank for his medieval themed restaurant, called Camelot. He wants a tank that will blend in perfectly with the overall aesthetic of his establishment, with a knight's helmet, swords, and torches included in the design.

The ATM team wastes no time getting to work on the project, and they start by designing a tank that will be both functional and aesthetically appealing. Brett and Wayde meet with Jeff again to go over the new design, which includes a unique filtration system that will allow for water to be pumped in and out of the top of the tank, simulating a waterfall effect. Jeff is thrilled with the design and gives the go-ahead for the team to move forward with construction.

As the team gets to work, they encounter a few challenges, including figuring out how to make the filtration system work with the design elements that Jeff wants included in the tank. They also have to figure out how to incorporate a custom-made knight's helmet that Jeff provides into the tank, which requires some intricate plumbing work.

Throughout the episode, viewers get a peek into the detailed process of building a custom tank, from the initial design phase to the actual construction. We see the team working with different materials, including acrylic, PVC pipe, and paint, to create the perfect tank for Jeff and his restaurant.

One of the highlights of the episode is when the team begins painting the tank, adding intricate details that really bring the design to life. They use a mix of airbrushing and hand-painting techniques to create a realistic stone texture and weathered look on the helmet and swords, which will be included in the design. The team also adds LED lighting to the tank, which gives it a magical glow at night.

As the tank nears completion, Jeff comes in to see the finished product, and he is blown away by the level of detail and craftsmanship that went into creating it. He is especially impressed with the custom knight's helmet, which he calls "one of a kind." The team also surprises him with a custom-made sword to add to the tank, which is the cherry on top of an already amazing design.

Overall, "Medievil Protection" is a fun and entertaining episode of Tanked that gives viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the process of creating a custom tank. The team at ATM shows off their design skills and attention to detail, while Jeff gets a tank that perfectly fits the theme of his restaurant. The episode is a great example of the creativity and ingenuity that goes into building custom aquariums and is sure to impress fans of the show.
