Dude, They Totally Build Those Things Here?
You betcha! ATM is a sprawling 37,000-square-foot wonderland where Wayde, Brett, and the rest of the crew bring their wildest aquarium ideas to life. From shark tanks with built-in jacuzzis (because, why not?) to tanks shaped like giant gumball machines (don't ask, it's Tanked!), you'll get a behind-the-scenes peek at the creativity and craftsmanship that goes into these one-of-a-kind masterpieces.
Warning: Seeing these engineering feats in person might make you question your own fish tank at home. A plastic castle and some neon gravel just won't cut it anymore.
Taking the Plunge: Your Tanked Tour Options
There are a couple of ways to dive into the world of Tanked:
Reminder: Reading twice often makes things clearer.
The Behind-the-Scenes Tour: This 70-minute guided tour is your classic ATM experience. You'll get the lowdown on the tank-building process, see some works in progress (maybe even a celebrity client's future fishy palace!), and might even score a selfie with the General himself (ATM's resident encyclopedia of all things acrylic).
The Las Vegas Reality Show VIP Tour: This bad boy is for the ultimate fan. It's a whirlwind tour of multiple Las Vegas reality show filming locations, including Tanked, Pawn Stars, and Counting Cars. Consider it your chance to channel your inner Rick Harrison ("I know what I got!") or obsess over Danny Koker's dream garage.
Pro Tip: Wear comfy shoes, because there's gonna be some walking involved. This ain't a leisurely float through a coral reef, folks.
