Ep 9. Bill Engvall: Here's Your Tank!

Bill Engvall, the famous stand-up comedian and actor, is about to get a surprise that he will never forget. In this episode of Tanked season 9, the crew at ATM (Acrylic Tank Manufacturing) have been challenged to build a stunning custom aquarium for Bill's home. With Bill's love for fishing, the team has decided to design a tank that combines both an aquarium and a fishing pond that reflects his personality.

The team begins by surveying the space where the aquarium will be installed and takes all the necessary measurements. Next, they sit down with Bill to discuss his vision for the tank. Bill is pleasantly surprised when he discovers what they have in store for him. He admires a model representation of the proposed tank that the ATM team presents to him in the conference room.

To achieve Bill's vision, the team has to spend countless hours designing and building the perfect tank. They start by constructing a massive pond that will be incorporated into the aquarium. The pond is surrounded by a boulder waterfall that cascades into the aquarium, creating a peaceful and calm atmosphere. The pond will not only be a great place for Bill to fish in, but it will also enhance the beauty of the aquarium.

Next, the ATM team builds a colossal reef structure that will hold a variety of saltwater fish. They painstakingly place each rock and coral, creating a magnificent underwater landscape. The aquarium will be lit using LED lights, which will enhance the overall aesthetics of the tank. To achieve an even more stunning effect, they use a combination of blue and white LED lights.

The ATM team brings in their clay specialists, who create a lifelike statue of a fisherman to decorate the aquarium. The fisherman appears to be standing on a stone platform, holding a fishing pole, and trying to catch a fish. The statue is painted in great detail, and the team is certain that it will bring the aquarium to life.

After the reef and pond are completed, the team fills the aquarium with water. They take careful measurements for the tank's salt levels, pH, and temperature to ensure that the fish will thrive. After the initial tests, the team adds a wide variety of fish into the tank. The fish selection includes a diverse range of species like butterflyfish, tangs, and triggerfish, along with some impressive stingrays.

With the tank complete, all that is left to do is to show Bill the finished product. The ATM team invites Bill over to his home and blindfolds him to create a suspenseful moment. As soon as he removes the blindfold, he is speechless and overwhelmed with joy at the sight of his new aquarium. The team takes Bill on a complete tour, pointing out all the exquisite details that make the tank unique.

Overall, the Tanked season 9 episode 9 is an incredible journey that showcases the dedication and passion of the ATM team. Tanked has once again proven that they are the best in the business when it comes to building custom aquariums. The show is a perfect blend of art, engineering, and science, making it a must-watch for anyone who is interested in aquariums.
