    Tanked is a real POS show. All of their horrible looking tanks are over stocked and experience massive die offs after the show. Reef fish are wild caught also, not captive bred.

    Same here. I was channel surfing and caught the end of the "Tanked" right before this one with Shaq. I went to the bath room, came back, and lo and behold Dwight was the guest star. His house is amazing.

    Is this the house he couldn't drive to during the storm because he lives far out of the loop or does he own another house in Florida?

    The "Tanked" guys said they were heading to Houston. They even showed the Toyota Center, the locker room, the Rockets working out, etc... I am not sure what part of Houston Dwight's house is though.

    Watched it and props to dwight. Almost a zoo quality faux-paludarium. The tanked guys predictably overstocked it and put way too big of a sump on it but when the fish die cichlids are easily replaced. Hope dwight got some of that sweet zoo med money in exchange for having outmoded, subpar lights and equipment on his five figure tank.

    It is 100 gallons but they had over 15 cichlids in it.

    It would be a great tank for about 3 oscars, they had 6-7 and 10 other fish lol.


    That is just how the Tanked guys roll.

    Fun episode, that tank is ridiculous. No joke, Dwight seemed pretty emotional about his snakes, haha


    Shout out to Dwight's "snake guy" ;)

    Could be nice but those green rocks are hideous .. most everything these guys put together is cringe worthy . Also how are electric blues south american ?

    Anyone catch the Shaq episode that came on after ?

    Not super impressed either. The concept is good but the whole thing is clunky.

    One of the highlights of a hybrid tank like this is the real plants come out of the water.
    I also would have done a different finish on the stand and canopy in that house.

    Lastly, in Dwight's tax bracket they could have stocked the tank with Discus. Much nicer to look at and won't ravage the scenery like those crazy fish they put in there.

    I wouldn't turn the tank down if it was given to me but I would be changing it up the second the camera crew left my house.
