I got a question. They put these tanks together an just add the fish in very fast. Do salt water filter not need to cycle? How does that work? I always wonder that every time I watch this show

That 18ft tank in the ortho. office is a badass tank. I wonder how much they charge for something like that? My guess is 25-30k

Did u not see the truckload of sea water they put in the ortho shark tank??!!!!

So they set up nice tank with nice fish and if properly maintain cleaned and wc they should live imo. I mean their job is to build custom tanks for fishkeepers who should know enough to keep their own fish alive!

the fish died 2 months later and its atms fault??! lol


Id love one of their tanks - the fake coral of course and im not saying their masters or sw and fw fish by any means but they do build crazy awesome tanks!

Dead within 2 days (you must be a math wiz huh, dont know how 48 hours equates into 2 months in your mind), filter never conditioned with a bio load, the nurse shark ate most of the dieing fish, funny enough in the show they were so concerned about the sharks during transport stateing how they need to match the water and ph. Soley so they can drop them in at the doctors office without any acclimation to the new tank...but they got there film for the show. Not to mention it was winter here in new york, your right they did fill the tank with a truck of water, freezing cold water. Took so long box by box they threw all the fish in shot the scene and ran off.

A nice tank with fish would be great properly maintained and cleaned. If it was set up correctly and ready for the fish prior to adding them. This tank and its stock never had a chance period, the fish didnt last long enough for maintenance. I dont think this is a lol situation.

There job is to build a custom "setups" not just tanks.

F1vet you should read posts carfully before making silly comments......no offense to you.

The first time I saw this show I was screaming to my wife about how grossly overstocked they had the tanks and how they didn't cycle the tanks. big tall tanks with little tiny sumps, no/ little gas exchange it would seem.

wow that show sucks.

"If the sharks get too big where they cant move just give us a call and we will come give them a bigger home"

It was hard enough moving them the first time and if there 3 ft bigger how do they plan to move them?

Didnt know about this show until I saw this thread. In concept it sounds like an awesome idea for a show but it turns out to be no mote than a generic reality show. I will watch it because its the fish keeping related show on TV (as far as I know) and jts kinda interesting to see the tanks and the fish. But I will tune out all scripted reality show BS.

As far as the ortbo episode, I agree the tank looked really tacky. They could have done so much and it turned out like it did. Dont get me started on the fridge tank....

As far as I can tell, this show is American Chopper meets fish tanks.

I thought it said 2 months. Wow my bad, if you dont like their show then why talk about it all day? And if your family runs the ortho office why did u have them set up their stuff to begin with?

Hmmm.


I wonder why there arent any pics of this or the fish if your family works there? Personally if i was on the set of a tv show with fish and a 2000 gallon tank id take vids and pics, and if your so smart then you should have known the compatibility of the fish to begin with!

If you watched the episode you saw that they got the sharks from a person who they built a tank for and sold them the same sharks and 2 years later all of his stock was alive.

If all u can do is complain about them and not help the fish idk where this thread is going. Imo there isnt any shows about fw or sw fish keeping/aquarium building! I think the idea is awesome and the tanks are very nice.

The only thing thats silly is constanly complaining and not doing a damn thing! Oh and the previews have been on for 2+ months of the new season, so saying there will be a ortho tank does not prove anything!

Tanks are awesome/their knowledge of FK is horrible

all of "reality" TV is 98% staged. I have many personal friends who work in that industry on and off the camera. (Why do you think they have writers in the credits?) It doesn't really bother me. I enjoy watching the tank builds and installations either way.
