Tanked

[Orange Crush]

If anyone saw last Saturday's episode of Tanked "Roll with it" (the one with the bus and nail polish bottle tank); did you happen to catch what brand of nitrifying bacteria they added to the nail polish bottle tank? It was a white bottle with a mostly red label and it had the price of 26.99 written on the top in black ink. I was just curious what they use. Thanks!

[Darrell Ward]

I don't know, but you could email them and ask I suppose. Goofy TV show, but they do build quality tanks. I know of a couple of public aquariums they have built tanks for, and the quality of them looks really good.

[Stuewart]

You wonder how slow they had to drive the bus to keep water from going everywhere...
I saw that too. I think it mightve been a seachem bottle, idk all the names for their products but thats my best guess.

[Dkarc@Aol.com]

It was their brand of bacteria. They have a line of water conditioners that were recently private labeled under the ATM name.

Yup, what Ryan said...I'm in perform staring at it as we speak...

+1 Colony is the product. I saw them use it in the nail polish bottle tank. It's a mix of live bacteria 'specifically' made for saltwater, don't know what that means as there is only so many strains of nitrifying bacteria :)

You can find it on Ebay.

Thanks all for your answers. So, I just googled it and it turns out that they also make a freshwater version and they sell it at Pet** and Petmountain of all places!
Don't think I would use it though because it says "Neutralizes ammonia and nitrite spikes naturally".

That's what nitrifing bacteria does.

That's what nitrifing bacteria does.
I know that. What I was trying to say is that I will stick with "fishless cycling" rather than rely on bottled cycling products while fish are in the tank like they do on the show.

Thanks Josie but, I wasn't actually wanting a bacterial product. I was just curious what brand these guys used. I didn't even realize they made their own product. I will stick with fishless cycling though whenever it is I buy another tank (need a bigger home 1st though).

Oh, no! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOeBKo_xLzg full length season 1 ep 1. At 1st I found the guys annoying but they grew on me and now they make me laugh a lot.

[zchauvin]

I don't see what all the hate for the show is... People just need to lighten up, they have a very successful company obviously. So what if they act "goofy", the show has to be suited for everyone to enjoy in order for it to be a success.

No one said they "hated" the show.

[zchauvin]

No no, its just there is another thread also about tanked and on both there are a lot of people talking about how stupid it is ect, and I don't believe I said anyone said they hate the show. Funny how people read.

I wonder how many they actually have working on the tanks to have such a quick turn around on building the tanks. I also wonder what they charge for them.

[Darrell Ward]

I think some people on this forum, and all forums for that matter, are a bit goofy also. It doesn't mean I hate them, I try to help them when I can. I watch the show, in fact, I've seen every episode.:)

As with anything custom, it's going to be expensive, but you can get almost anything you can dream up. My dream tank from them is a 20 footer, walk into the front door, and see it taking up the entire wall at the other end of the room.

NICE! I want a room where all 4 walls are floor to ceiling aquariums so I can feel like I am in the fish tank.

Lol could you imagine the water bill for that! 50% WC daily lol you'd need scuba gear to vacuum the tank! Then you would be in the tank

Nah, here in the mountains, clean water is free. You only need a pump to bring it in.
