I got out from under my rock and seen my first "Tanked" tonight. Wasnt bad, about what i expected i guess. Would of been nice if the went into the designing/building details a little more.
more bad publicity imo for the hobby/ owners of fish... how fish should be any different then dogs or cats is assanine imo... anyone who thinks these guys are " doing good" for the hobby of fishkeeping itself is silly imo. do they do great builds? yes.. but thats like saying someone makes a cool catbox... cant deny these guys do interest custom builds.. but ive seen better on this site by random joes... and the true beauty of their builds are they sustain life! no stock list is bomb proof but the treatment of the life these guys blatently abuse disgusts me and has since i saw their first episode... many of the fish ive seen are wild caught adult specimins in questionably sustainable habitats.
i make sad face... they have the opportunity to truely educate... but theyde rather be "cool". poor form...

The best thing to do is not watch the show and send complaints into animal planet. Watching the show just because there isnt another aquarium show on wont help the situation
