dmatt56 June 12, 2013 Share June 12, 2013 Hello everyone No one has mentioned last Fridays episode or tanked. They built a new tank for the Annapolis Mall. My wife and I were making a return to Macy's and decided to stop by and see the tank. Here's a pic from tonight: Didn't see the golden puffer and here's the angel: The blue and gold sail has also been taken down. Has anyone else seen the tank?

howaboutme June 12, 2013 Share June 12, 2013 Ironically, I just saw that episode on DVR. I turned if off because I'm annoyed at their (assuming) scripted antics.....One thing is for sure, they are not designers. With that said, they do build a lot of spectacular tanks.

flooddc June 12, 2013 Share June 12, 2013 Hmm! Check back in a few weeks to see if those fish survived! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowieReefer84 June 12, 2013 Share June 12, 2013 The look downs probably ate them all... http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15+46+678&pcatid=678 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coral Hind June 12, 2013 Share June 12, 2013 I haven't seen the episode yet but I will have to tomorrow. The guy I got my inserts from also makes them for ATM so I see some of the same corals in that tank that are in mine. It's sad how they throw those tanks together with fish that really shouldn't be together and we all pretty much know many of the fish don't make it.

zygote2k June 12, 2013 Share June 12, 2013 I'm willing to bet it's just a wet/dry under the stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowieReefer84 June 12, 2013 Share June 12, 2013 I'm willing to bet it's just a wet/dry under the stand. Don't want to spoil it, but it's not a wet/dry. Actually, the filtration didn't look bad to me (couldn't tell manufacturers though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowieReefer84 June 12, 2013 Share June 12, 2013 Canister filter? Nope, it is actually pretty cool setup imo. The plumbing is a lot more than you would expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkey18 June 12, 2013 Share June 12, 2013 The tank is ugly. Hardly any fish and cartoon like corals. Yuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredible Corals June 12, 2013 Share June 12, 2013 Ouch, that hurt. You better not come see my tank then. Lol, at least you have lots of awesome fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanM June 12, 2013 Share June 12, 2013 I thought they were supposed to build 2 tanks in that mall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harticus5 June 16, 2013 Share June 16, 2013 I see about 8 fish in that picture, I thought I saw about 50 on the episode? Will have to re-watch. Call me crazy, I liked the sail, and this tank in general. Yes, 99% of fake corals look like crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, 99% of fake corals look like crap. maybe the customer returned a majority of the fish after the show to save some money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebekwl June 16, 2013 Share June 16, 2013 I would let them build me a tank!, But I do the stocking, start up etc.. They move way to fast and you'd lose $1,000's of $$$ in fish! no thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebekwl June 16, 2013 Share June 16, 2013 (edited) Ouch! I guess, when you have a TV show you can go from $1/gallon to $100/gallon .. That's the Movie star pricing!!! LLS!!! Edited June 16, 2013 by rebekwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coral Hind June 16, 2013 Share June 16, 2013 I just went and watched the episode. Wow, they must have had a bunch of deaths since it was installed. To me the sail should have been higher so you could walk under it, they that the space to raise it. I noticed in the picture above that one of the ropes on the top came loose already and was just threw on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LLS!!! well, it came with filtration as well, sturdy stand and canopy so i dont think you need to buy anything for it except fish. also came with coral inserts in the middle. i think it is a reasonable price.

I don't know much about Overhead/ mark-up, but that seems steep to me for a 50 gallon tank.. IMO.. I have seen tanks retail and on here that come with alot more, for alot less. Just my humble opinon.
