-what do you mean? -I want a shark tank In my pool house.

I want my family swimming In that pool

While my sharks Are swimming in that pool --

18,000 gallons, 20,000 gallons, 30,000 gallons.

I want the whole thing -- -the whole pool house.

Yes, that's what I want. I don't care how you do it.

I just want to get it done.

I just want to get an idea.

Okay. Oof.

Over there. -he said, "Whoa."

That means It's gonna be deep.

It was A massive undertaking.

But atm accepted The challenge.

Our team designed An oval-shaped tank

For inside The pool house.

It's constructed of rebar And then molded with concrete.

A huge piece of acrylic Will allow

Tracy and his family to see The fabricated coral insert

And school of sharks He kept for years,

Including a few blacktips And smooth hounds.

And now we're adding An enclosed room

In front of the tank With huge sliding glass doors

To protect from From the elements,

And a beautiful pergola.

We thought it was gonna be one Of the most challenging projects

That we took on.

And, boy, were we right.

[ thunder crashes ]

The day we were installing The massive acrylic panel...

Mother nature sent us A powerful nor'easter.

-we're dragging. -he's hitting now.

The rain and wind made And already difficult install...

Watch the gate sensor!

...Even more dangerous.

He's got to go in more.

-hey! -hold it, hold it!

Don't walk under there!

Wayde: our family's the Number-one aquarium builder

In the world!

Wow!

We create underwater worlds Like no one's ever seen.

Look at the fishies!

For us, fish are More than a business.

They're our passion.

Oh, yeah. There we go.

Look at the size of That shark right there.

Around here, It's fish, family,

And creatures Of all kinds.

This place is Turning into a zoo!

[ birds squawking ]

It's so crazy That they still find,

Like, new species every day.

Look at The little fishies!

Wayde: our imagination Is as big as our tanks.

Every week Is shark week.

Brett: and each one

Is as unique As the fish who live in it.

If you can dream it...

We can build it!

Luckily, the wind settled down

And we got control Of the panel again.

Panel's Coming in, guys.

These fish have been together For months.

Why all of a sudden Do they bully each other?

Well, there's many reasons Why fish can be bullies, okay?

Number one is, They're bored.

Okay? Number two, they're territorial.

They already created a place Inside the aquarium

That is already theirs.

So what are we gonna do To stop this behavior?

I took him out, right?

Eggs are a clutch?

No, eggs Are called eggs.

But when they're together, It's called a clutch.

So, it can be up to 30.

Even more, sometimes. -wait.

He knows they're special.

Our moray eel, kermit, is from Tropical and subtropical waters.

And our tessalata, tessa, Is from the indo-pacific region.

And as one of our best clients,

I want to do whatever it takes To make him happy.

But it's not as easy As grabbing one out of the tank.

We have to ship it Across the country,

So we got to be careful.

Victor? -yes, I'm over here.

-you ready? -yeah.

All right. So, listen. I think I got everything.

First, I got Some thick-mil plastic.

I'm concerned In case he bites,

So we're gonna double The bag.

Double the bag, okay.

Plus, if he bites through this, We got the styrofoam box.

To hold the water.

Plus, it's like a thermos So it'll hold the temperature.

Hold the heat, okay.

This goes up in the plane, It goes in cargo.

It's real cold.

We want to keep like, 75. -okay.

Keep it in here, Control heat.

Okay.

Now, once he's in the bag, We're gonna, like,

Squish the air out And putting fresh oxygen in.

-okay. -and we'll pump that in.

Now, has he eaten?

No, I didn't feed him. It's been two days.

He's supposed to get fed today, But I didn't do it.

That's good and bad, Okay?

It's good because if We're transporting him,

He won't Go to the bathroom

And then it won't Build up ammonia.

-that's why I didn't feed him. -so that's good.

The bad part is since He's hungry now, catching him --

He's gonna be mad.

-yeah. -hold on, wait.

Got something for you. All right.

Oh, shoot.

I'm the black knight! All right.

If he gets upset And goes to bite, or scared,

You're gonna be happy You have that on.

The main this is, is when you're Transporting an animal

Like this, you want to Keep him un-stressed.

And you don't want to Chase him all around.

Then he's gonna be all like, Hyperventilating.

What you want to do is get him As fast as possible,

This type of animal, usually the Parents won't even recognize it.

Don't they need skin-to-skin -- Or in this case, scale-to-scale?

They need to bond!

Some animals, yes.

This animal, usually Once it's alive, boom.

It goes out into the wild, And that's it.

You put him in the cage With the big guys --

Mom or dad --

They can physically Actually hurt the child.

You want to at least leave it In here for at least

12 to 48 hours.

He's been working.

Right now, He's all tired.

He's just -- You know what I mean?

Doesn't he have to eat?

No, not yet, 'cause the egg sac

Could actually still be attached To the animal

Or it could be inside Where the shell is.

So he's gonna eat that For a little while,

Which is healthy for him -- Vitamins and everything.

The egg sac will feed it For two days?

100%.

-wow. -uh-huh.

'cause newborns Are usually starving.

I remember that. -hmm.

All right, guys. Listen.

We want to control The environment.

We still have The other eggs.

We have humidity, So let's get this back on here.

Then we'll introduce him To a different tank,

And then We'll start feeding him.

And then, voilà. -okay.

-all right? -all right.

-all right, guys. -aww!

I may have to bring -- We have a baby.

I may have to bring in a baby Monitor to keep an eye on him.

Girl, do it!

Things are going well over At tracy's.

The sealant around The acrylic panel's secured,

So our guys can get To work filling it

With over 7,000 pounds Of nature's ocean coral sand.

And this tank is so big,

It's gonna require Some special tools.

Here you are. I've been looking All over for you.

What are you doing?

I just confirmed The water for tracy's.

We have two 7,000-gallon Tankers coming.

So we got some big trucks With a lot of water.

Wow. So, I'm actually making Something pretty cool.

You know tracy. He's going big.

There's so many fish In this tank --

Stingrays, blacktips.

He has horn sharks.

Each shark, like, Swims at different levels.

And as soon as we put food in, They're gonna gobble it up

And they're gonna be Some slow ones in there

That are not gonna Be able to eat.

Okay.

So we want to make sure Everybody eats.

So I'm making A custom feeding stick.

But the problem is, I got to supersize it.

My plan is to make a curlicue That holds the food

At the end of the smaller Acrylic feeding stick,

Out of a pvc pipe.

Got a heating rod right here. This thing gets really hot.

So, this goes in here.

Start twisting the pvc Nice and slow, okay?

This reminds me of cooking A rotisserie chicken.

You need to get it on a spindle And let it twist by itself.

All right, keep spinning. You're gonna burn it, though.

[ chuckles ]

Okay, watch. You see how flimsy this is?

-ooh. -okay, watch that rod.

You don't want it To burn anything.

Make sure you leave enough Room for the food to come.

Hold this end, this piece Right here, real tight.

All the way down, Before it cools off.

And when this cools, It's gonna be solid as a rock.

-uh-huh. -you have silver sides.

Let's say You have a snapper.

Let's say You have squid.

You have different thicknesses, Like a spring.

So, for the Different-sized foods.

-correct. -that was smart.

Okay, now watch this.

Voilà. Come to the table.

Now, feel this.

Little flexible, right? -mm-hmm.

Now, don't forget, it's pvc. It can go in the water.

You never have to worry About it.

This side, You put on the extension

Like this piece Right here.

This is just like A little adapter here.

Now, watch this. Let me show you something.

Okay, pretend this Is frozen food.

You put the food in here, right? This is hard-core,

But the fish'll go in there A lot easier.

All right. So, look.

You get on top of the fish tank. You're ready to feed the fish.

You go all the way down And feed the fish.

Now it's time For a quick fish fact.

Which of the following fish Does not have a funny bone?

We'll find out Right after the break.

So, which of the following fish Does not have a funny bone?

Make no bones about it.

Sharks have a skeleton Made up entirely of cartilage --

The clear, gristly stuff that Your nose and ears are made of.

Even though sharks don't have Bones, they can still fossilize.

As most sharks age, They deposit calcium salt

Into their cartilage To strengthen it.

Nice.

One, two, three, four, Five, six.

Can I get all six?

We're gonna give you More than six, man.

We're gonna get you A whole tankful of those guys.

At least 20, 25.

So now you're gonna force me To get a great white.

Can I get A great white here?!

-no. -do you sell great whites?

Can I get a great white?

Tracy does not want A great white shark.

Brett: they can grow up To 21 feet long.

They don't do well in captivity

Because they're used to swimming In the open ocean

As opposed to around reefs, Like his other sharks.

And on top that, Great whites will attack

Anything in that tank.

So, what are the other fish?

You got a copperband butterfly In there.

See, he's got the long nose.

He's able to get in And actually get crevices.

They're able to squeeze and Get food with that long nose.

-tells a lot of lies. -very peaceful fish.

Brett: and right there, You got a sweetlips.

Wow!

Those guys get to be About 20 inches.

I like them sweetlips.

But two sweetlips is always Better than one sweet lip.

Two sweetlips it is.

Okay, this is Taken care of.

But, guys, you two Promised me an eel.

What's the deal With the eel?

That's why We brought you here, bro.

We got you an eel. Come on, let's go check it out.

-shall we?! -come on, let's do it.

-huh? -oh, nice!

That's what I wanted! Oh, man.

I'm gonna have a nice home For you, baby.

Brett: So, that's a tessalata.

So one day, will he be as big As the one that you guys have?

-absolutely. -could be bigger.

Also known As a honeycomb eel,

Those guys grow To be about six feet.

How long would it take for him To get that big?

Well, it depends How much you feed him.

Okay, this guy -- Let's say he's four years old.

Okay.

The next year or so, He can triple in size.

Depends on how Much you feed him.

You give him squid. You give him krill -- you know,

All the stuff Like you fed the octopus.

Remember that? You can feed him the same.

Can I give him lasagna With six different cheeses?

Seven different cheeses.

This goes without saying -- Do notfeed your eels lasagna.

All right, so you good With everything we got today?

-yep. -we're gonna head And go get the sharks,

And then we're gonna Hook up with you later, okay?

-okay. -all right, man. We'll see you later.

-later. Drive safe, guys. -all right.

Yeah, that guy's gonna Do great with the sharks.

What about that guy?

-oh, snowflake. -yeah.

-grab him, too. -dude, that guy will go great.

The two together? -he'll love them both.

-sound good? -and they'll grow.

They'll be perfect With the sharks.

All right, cool. Let's get them packed up.

Since this tank is so big, We had to get two huge trucks

Filled with natural seawater From the ocean.

Yeah, big ole tankers.

So in other words, Our tank got tanked.

Yeah!

Now it's time To move the sharks in.

Brett: all right. How's the sharks?

Obviously, This is it.

So they're gonna Transport them in this.

Nice. -yeah. They got the air.

They got the hose, the heaters. Everything looks good.

All right, come on. Let's check it out. -follow the hose.

Right now, My adrenaline's going.

We got to move all these sharks From one place to another.

This is so exciting.

-hello, hello! -yo, yo!

-hey, hey! -hey, hey! What's up, what's up?

-there's the shark den. -nice!

What's happening, fellas? Welcome.

-looking good! -look at all the sharks.

-wow. -tracy's sharks are ready to go.

Brett: and you're pumping The water from here

Into the container outside -- The holding pen.

Right, right -- from the Sump into the container.

Animals are first.

We got to make sure Everything's perfect.

We're trying to keep Everything the same

So that they have a nice, Smooth transition.

-we ready to do this? -we're ready.

I got my shark wranglers Waiting.

Let's get them! Let's go!

Sharks really can't stay Out of water

For a long period of time.

It really stresses them out.

When you're transporting And moving sharks,

You have no time to waste. You got to move quick.

Get him underwater. Get some water in there.

Aww, look how comfortable he is.

You see that?

Like a little teddy bear?

We put a towel around them For multiple reasons.

One is to get a grip, and two, It covers their eyes

And keeps them a little relaxed.

We want them to be comfortable.

So the faster you can get them Out the tank, covered,

And get them in the other tank, It's the best way to move them.

Here we go. Get him in.

Beautiful! Look at that bad boy.

He's doing great already.

We got one shark down. We got four more to go.

Brett: Here comes number two.

Coming through.

There you go, buddy.

There you go. You see your friends.

All right.

This guy's good. All right. Here we go, boys.

We got him. Beautiful!

Look at you, blacktip. Doing great, baby.

Nice!

We're moving along.

This is great. The guys are doing great.

This is crazy!

This is the best part of my job.

One, two, three, four, five.

Look at them. -that's the count.

-let's get going, all right? -all right.

Let's do it.

Brett: Coming up on "Tanked"...

Wayde: want to make sure No water's coming out

Of the back of that truck.

Think I'm more nervous Than the sharks.

Live every day like It's "Shark week."

I don't care how you do it. I just want to get it done.

Brett: we're doing another tank For our friend,

Comedian tracy morgan.

And not just any tank -- It's a giant shark tank.

We've loaded them Into the cargo truck,

And now we have To hit the road.

Rock and roll, baby.

Shark transport, Tracy morgan -- let's roll.

Wayde: the transport tank In the truck is heated.

But the longer we're on the road In this cold weather,

The more likely you're gonna Stress the sharks out

Or encounter A disastrous spill.

Want to make sure No water's coming out

Of the back of that truck.

Think I'm more nervous Than the sharks.

Brett: it was smooth sailing All the way to tracy's.

Wayde: and the transport tank Was able to maintain

The proper temperature and Oxygen levels for the sharks.

But with the sun setting, Our job of getting them into

Tracy's tank Is gonna be a lot harder.

This is gonna be A little difficult.

It's cold. You're freezing.

I'm freezing. -yeah.

The sharks are gonna Be cold, too.

We don't want them To go into shock,

So let's do this As fast as possible.

She's gonna have to Catch them in there.

You're gonna have to get on top Of the tank over there.

Okay.

We're gonna have to hand it To you, so up and down

That ladder's gonna be A little difficult.

Okay.

We're all gonna have to work Through, like, the hand-off.

You know, you got the torch, This is the relay, okay?

This is the tracy morgan Shark relay.

I just want to make sure There's a clear path.

Okay.

I don't want to slip, slide, And I don't want anything bulky.

And anyone's that's back there, I'm throwing out the way.

-all right. -so get ready.

Let's rock and roll, guys. -okay.

-okay, so -- -wayde, moe, Where you guys been, man?

Me and mike have been Waiting for you guys all day.

I told you it'd take A little bit.

Safety for the sharks --

Right now, we're doing a path To make sure everything's clear.

They're outside. They're ready to go.

Okay, wait a minute.

Hold on.

Path is clear.[ laughter ]

All right. So, listen.

The sharks, we don't want them Feeling the cold temperature.

We're gonna do a relay.

So make sure no one Comes back here, all right?

I got you. Nobody!

Nobody, all right. Let's go get them.

-wait. -what?

Before you leave, Can I ask one question?

-yeah! -what's that on your head?

The catshark -- It looks like him.

It's his friend. I want him to feel comfortable.

See that?

If he saw this mug, He'd get scared.

Okay.

Psychopathology -- Learn that word, okay?

-we're gonna go get the sharks. -okay.

He makes fun of my hat.

Got him?

When you turn a shark On its back,

It enters a trance-like state Called tonic immobility.

It can start within seconds and Relax them for a few minutes,

Rendering them motionless With no side effects.

-he swimming? -he's swimming.

Beautiful!

It's the safest way to carry A shark when out of the water.

Four more to go. Stay in position.

Let's go. We got to rock this.

Sharks.

The first two sharks in the tank Were smooth hounds --

One male and one female.

They are nonaggressive sharks With flat teeth used to crush

Their diet of mollusks, Small fish, or squid.

Let's go, three more! -be careful.

I love My animals, man.

There you go.

All right.

My pants Are falling down.

Here we go! A blacktip. Get him good.

Hold on. -got him.

Wayde, your pants Are falling down.

I know, man.

A lot of exercise -- I'm losing weight.

Sharks in, pants down?

That's what it is? -two more to go!

Live every day Like it's "Shark week."

The third and fourth sharks Are blacktips.

They're also a timid shark,

But they can become aggressive When they're hungry.

Beautiful. -there you go.

Man: there you go, good. Next one, there you go.

Where's the head? Head's that way?

Blacktip, here we go.

All right.

You're good, right? -yeah.

-make sure they're swimming. -yes.

We got one more to go.

You like them? -I love them.

-all right. -my sharks are home.

We got him, we got him.

We got him.

Hold on, hold on.

I got him, I got him. Let's go, up the ladder!

This last shark is a catshark.

These guys only grow to be About two feet long,

But these guys are definitely More aggressive

Than most smaller sharks.

Look at them, Swimming great.

Now, some of them, when they Go in, they breathe heavy.

They flip upside-down, They're not doing too well.

All these guys, look at them. They're all swimming.

That's the way You do it.

-good. -that's the way you do it.

-thank you. -all right. So, listen.

-yeah. -you haven't fed them In a while.

-right. -okay.

Let them Get used to the tank.

A few hours from now, Put some food in if you're here.

If not, tomorrow morning.

But do not overfeed.

Just give a little taste.

You know, if you want to put A little garlic in there --

They'll get a little feisty,

And you want to see How they swim

And you want to watch each one. -yeah, they love garlic.

You want to make sure They're not just sitting.

You want to make sure They react to it, you know?

Keep your eye on them now. -yeah.

I'm gonna be Out here all night.

-yeah. -you ain't got To worry about it.

I'm babysitting my sharks.

The water's cloudy. Will it remain that way?

-no. -it's just a lot Of sand in there?

No, it's not so much that.

What you see, it looks cloudy -- It's microbubbles.

We have The pumps turned up.

And when it's crashing there, It's causing these

Little bubbles Which actually clouds up.

But it's putting A lot of oxygen in it.

So it's not cloudy.

It's filled With a lot of oxygen.

Which is really good,

'cause sometimes When you transport them,

You want to make sure The oxygen is in there.

All right?

-so this is a good sign. -it's a very good sign.

We have to clean Everything up tonight.

The tank's gonna clear up.

The oxygen's gonna settle.

We got more fish To put in.

And as you see, We have a big mess here.

So step by step.

Brett: Coming up on "Tanked"...

Dope!

Inside, you have the back.

We wanted it to be blue So that it gives you some depth.

And we didn't put the coral Against the whole backdrop,

Obviously, because You're gonna have sharks

Swimming all over the tank.

So we actually put them In the center

So the sharks Can swim all around them.

You have a couple blacktips In there.

You know blacktips.

They can grow to be Six to eight feet.

So, you got them here now.

What, they're about three feet Right now --

Two-and-a-half, three feet.

So you got plenty of time For them to still grow in here.

Even though there's several Species of sharks in the tank,

You don't have to worry. They're all gonna get along.

They're all compatible.

So this is like the u.N. Of aquariums.

They gonna work It out, right?

Okay, all right.

Also, too, you have a bunch Of fusiliers in there.

You can see those guys Have been schooling around.

They make a lot of movement Inside the aquarium.
