[Loki]

Well. I don't get Nat Geo Wild.

Any idea what the process is to watch it online, and when they will be available?

Nevermind. I just upgraded. It's set on my DVR!

 

[nicks387]

Awesome. Cant wait to see it. DVR is set.

 

[jstlsn]

Bummer, I don't get National Geographic Wild with my current channel lineup. Hope episodes are online after they air.

The asian guy is a but too much for me, way too hyper. I like his enthusiasm for the animals, but chillax a little. Gives me a slight headache trying to listen to him.

 

[larryl]

Can't wait to check the show out!

 

[redemer123]

this should be cool! as long as theres no stupid reality show shenanigans that have no relevance to fish tanks.

 

[Mr E Wrasse]

looking forward to watching the show!!

 

[Fish Tank Kings]

Thank you for all the support! We really appreciate it.

Each episode has a slightly different format with some featuring a little more animal husbandry related topics than others. The first episode is all about the Miami Marlins aquariums and shows more of the build aspect versus other episodes that show more animal related topics. There are cool field trips to places like ORA, the Caribbean or public aquariums on subsequent episodes

Check out all the latest clips here on Nat Geo's website.

I am going to upgrade as well just to get this show. LOL!

 

[neuwave]

Sweet cant wait till. I'll be watching.

 

[TD2K]

well that was disappointing.

First off, this show had more BS drama than half of the shows on TLC. I was so excited to maybe see more about the projects and such, but this, like most reality shows, went way over the top, people throwing temper tantrums for no reason, kicking and throwing stuff, blaming everyone else, acting like kindergartners, etc. I live through that 9 hours a day at my job, I don't need any more of it when I am home trying to relax. Even the client was "over the top" in my opinion, like he had something to prove ("little man syndrome?") . About 5 minutes in a room with that guy and only 1 of us would come out.

Secondly, I think the whole tank project was a nightmare. I think it's a terrible idea and can't believe no one told that idiot that it's not a good idea to put fish tanks inside a noisy stadium where tipped balls can bounce off the tank at any given moment, shield or not.

Lastly, it's the show's premier, and they didn't even make the tanks themselves. The tanks were made in Japan. JAPAN?!?!?!?! Come on man. You'd think they would at least be able to do something besides the coral inserts and plumbing themselves for the FIRST episode.

DVR UNset.

I would have to agree even though I don't have cable I watched the clips and its pretty easy to see the manufactured(annoying) drama unfolding. Keep it real yo

[...]Even the client was "over the top" in my opinion, like he had something to prove ("little man syndrome?") . [...]

lol.. I thought the same thing. The way that guy needed to talk about smashing stuff every 5 minutes made me lose some interest.

The company owner's tantrums made me lose the rest. Too many bleeps to be enjoyable. Too many "we-can't-afford-(blank)-happening" moments.

We do build everything possible in our 43000 sq ft factory. The full and true explanation was cut during the edit of the show. The Marlin aquariums have two mitered vertical bonds at the center of each aquarium. These bonds had to be guaranteed for 20 years and there is only one company in the world that can do this which happens to be in Japan. We could have lied about it. But that's not what we do and its not who we are . The next five episodes will show that. Sorry you didn't like the show, we understand its not for everyone. You can see previews of future episodes on Nat Geo's website.

I think that this forum and other forums are harder on the show because we want to see the reef stuff, the plumbing, and the build process which isn't interesting to the general public. I think the show was good and look forward to more. I mean tanked is cheesy but I like aquaria so much I watch it.

+1. I am going to watch it still. I would've liked to see more of the drab and boring stuff which does not make great tv for the masses.

Congrats on the show and forgive my ignorance, but no one else in America could have built those tanks??
