Anyone watch the show Tanked? That place they shop at in L.A. looks cool and I always wanted to visit. I'm glad I just read that they don't even let you in unless you are an approved fish store, no end users!

I have seen them in like 6 episodes of that show and I somehow missed that they don't sell to individuals. Bummer. Oh well..
 
I have seen them advertise in some magazines over the years...I guess they are similar to Segrest Farms down in Florida.Awesome stock but no walk in business for hobbyists.

Oh well, I guess it's just their business model and it makes sense. Dealing with Joe public is probably the worst part of the fish trade and if they are dealing with volume they don't want the ninnys who show up wanting to setup their dream 20g shark tank.
 
Love the show but I'm more of a freshwater guy.

They are from Jersey. I'm fairly certain some dictionary definitions need to be updated.

Annoying, Ignorant, Flamboyant.

They do build some cool stuff but I think the show is about twenty times more interesting when you watch it muted.
 
One of the people on my other forum emailed the Tanked people about cycling and they said they wished they could do more on that. I think they're good guys, just pressured by TV people to make a "reality" show that will appeal to a lot of people.

Exactly! they always have dramatic timelines where they are pulling the garden hose out of the tank as they throw high dollar fish in 5 mins before the "unveil" which is silly. I find the show entertaining though kinda like sons of guns even though I can see through all the fake reality tv drama. oh well.. saw they have their own line of ATM chemicals at petco now.. lol
