Original subtitles

Brett: I'm brett raymer.

Wayde: And I'm wayde king.

We're two new yorkers

Who moved to las vegas To follow our dreams,

To create underwater worlds like No one's ever seen.

We are the number one Aquarium builders in the world.

We create tanks For top celebrities,

Luxury hotels, skyscrapers, Even churches

And anyone That wants one.

We opened the shop 15 years ago.

It's a family business, For sure.

I was forced into This relationship.

I married brett's sister.

I run the bus.

Oh, she thinks She runs everything.

And my dad runs operations. We call him the general.

[ laughs ]

We may fight, But somehow we make it work.

If you can dream it, We can build it.

Watch him. He's a jumper.

Agnes: hi.

Oh, boy. Here comes trouble.

My position at atm Is aquarium sales rep.

I bring in new business.

So I have some good news For you.

It's about time.

I'm not part of the family,

But I definitely Feel like the little sister

To wayde and brett.

So the tropicana called,

And they are putting in A new attraction called

The las vegas Mob experience.

They want us To build them a tank.

This is a big deal For us.

We get a lot of good exposure Since it's in the hotel.

So it's all mob themed, That whole thing?

When do you a walk through, You'll know more about it.

You guys Need to meet with lou today.

I think we need to get my dad. He used to be a cop.

I think he told me He arrested al capone.

He used to walk the beat With the stick

Back and forth. He did not.

Yeah, irwin did. Yeah.

That's why we call him The general.

The general is my father-in-law.

He's my wife's father And brett's father.

He handles The whole front office.

If there's an issue or problem, He takes care of it.

Let's take a ride. Where are we going?

We're going to tropicana.

Didn't you tell me Growing up once

That you arrested Al capone?

Wait a minute. How old do you think I am?

I was born in 1944.

So then you arrested him When you were a toddler.

[ laughter ]

All right, guys I'm gonna Show you the buildout.

It's not complete.

But it will certainly Be complete shortly.

The mob experience Is an interactive experience

Chronicling The history of the mob

And the history of las vegas.

I like the jail cell.

We have a collection Of over 1,000 artifacts

That are probably The largest collection

Of mob related artifacts In the world.

This is the docks By ellis island.

And then we enter Prohibition era new york.

We're gonna have to Sliver through here.

Wayde: brett can't fit Through there.

Turn sideways, buddy.

So this is bugsy siegel's 1933 packard limo.

That's the one Where they were doing

The machine gun shooting Out of.

This is lucky luciano's 1927 studebaker.

This is fantastic. Oh, god, It is really awesome.

So the first thing That they'll see as they come in

Will be the fish tank.

So a little bit of an experience Before you even enter.

So we want to make the fish tank A little bit interactive

With the people That are waiting in line.

If it could be interactive, That would be unbelievable.

The silverton hotel And caesars,

They have these Tremendous fish tanks,

And they're beautiful.

Let's build A mob themed fish tank.

It would be The coolest fish tank out there.

So underneath here Is an empty space.

We could do this whole wall. We could wrap around the corner.

Wayde: I got an idea.

Let's say just the window Of the tank

And then we do some theming On the wall above it.

Brett: man, I got a great idea.

Would don't we put Flat screen tvs inside the tank?

Think about it -- Tv screens inside an aquarium?

They're actually gonna be able To watch movies inside the tank.

That's gonna be amazing.

You can also have Some speakers there, as well.

So while they're standing there, You can put what you want on.

We can even play mob movies If we --

Anything with a screen, I can fill it with content.

Wayde: Brett, tv screens underwater?

These are the things We need to talk about

Before you make promises.

What?

So we'll come up with some ideas And shoot them around.

This tank Better not make me look bad.

He better do the right thing, Or he's gonna have a problem.

He's dealing with the mob.

It's a lot of work, and we Got to get everybody together.

That's right. Call the troops.

Can you ask red neck to come To the front office?

Heather: Red neck, to the front office.

Brett: robbie red neck, One of a kind.

Robbie is our install manager. He's a full blown red neck.

He lives at work. Literally, he lives at work.

He has a trailer home In the back parking lot.

Red neck Is the best builder we got,

So we're putting him In charge.

Come on, red neck.

I saved you a seat Right next to me, robert.

The new job is The mob experience aquarium.

This is a main event thing Here in las vegas.

The tank Has to go in pretty quick.

Do we got an idea of how Many gallons this tank is?

About 1,000 gallons Or so.

We have other issues.

When we were over there Going over things,

Big mouth Starts throwing tvs in it.

And all these other Theming things,

So now we have to figure out How much work you have to do.

Okay, but wait, tvs?

Tvs in an aquarium, Brett?

Have you already quoted This job out?

Of course.

And was this your vision Of tvs

Before or after you quoted The job out?

There is enough money in there For tvs.

General: why can't you ever Learn to keep your mouth shut?

[ laughter ]

Brett: The mob experience tank

Is gonna be shaped like A giant "L"

That wraps around The corner of the lobby.

Inside the tank, We'll have not one,

But two flat screen monitors In acrylic cases.

That way louie can play The mob-theme videos

While customers are waiting In line to get tickets.

It has to be Mob-themed fish.

A pufferfish. A big, stocky pufferfish.

Some triggers, maybe.

Definitely. That's a good one.

The trigger, yeah. That's a good selection of fish.

What else is on the agenda, General?

We have two other jobs That we got to worry about.

We have the insert At the palms

And we got the consult For the new-york-themed tank.

All right. Cool.

So installing the coral Inserts in the aquarium

At the palms casino Should be pretty easy.

So it's first On our to-do list.

What do we got here? Brett: these are the inserts For the palms casino.

We got one problem.

The access to get them in Is very, very small.

So?

And you're definitely Not fitting.

I'm definitely Not fitting either.

But I think We're gonna need heather.

Yeah, right.

These coral inserts have to be Put into the aquarium by hand.

The openings for the aquarium Are very small.

I'm serious.

When I sold this,

I anticipated on heather Being there to do the install.

You don't have a shot In the dark, dude.

She ain't Getting in no tank.

Heather does the books.

She likes to work In a nice, dry office.

Going in a fish tank where it's Wet and cold, it's not heather.

Listen to me. She's your wife.

She's your sister.

Ultimately, someone small

Is gonna have to put The inserts into the aquarium.

Heather?

Come here.

She is gonna kill me.

Heather.

What?

Your brother screwed up... Again.

And now He sold these inserts.

They have to Go into an aquarium,

And there's no one here That can actually climb

Into the aquarium And get them except you.

You did not tell him that I'm going into someone's tank.

In someone's tank. You're going In the tank.

No, I'm not. Yes, you are.

Why do I have to pay For his screw up?

Listen to me. When you're 4'11" --

I'm 5 foot.

He likes to give me crap About being short.

He says I'm 4'11. I'm not. I'm 5 foot.

I've measured.

5 foot.

Listen, baldy, 5 foot.

I could put heels on. Go get some rogaine.

I'm not happy about this.

It's not my fault. Don't get pissed at me.

It's his fault. It's both your faults.

What would you do If I wasn't here?

My wife is getting madder And madder,

And she's blaming me For something that brett did.

You're an idiot For putting me in this position.

I didn't do nothing. He did it.

But I'm the one That has to go home with her.

Heather: You guys are idiots!

Thanks, brett.

Today is the day I've been dreading.

I can't believe you guys Are making me do this.

I'm not happy.

It's cold over here. It's going to be cold In the tank.

Oh, It's not a big deal.

To you. You're not going in.

We have to install The coral inserts

Into the tank At the palms casino.

Are you out of your mind? This is not what I'm going in.

That's not even funny. I'm not going in.

Brett: I was shocked.

The tank wasn't supposed to have Any fish in it till tomorrow.

Our guys Must have put them in early.

Man, there was like 20 sharks in there.

Look at how many sharks -- That's a blacktip right there.

I'm not going in that tank. Are you out of your mind?

You go in.

Are you out of your mind? This is not what I'm going in.

That's not even funny. I'm not going in.

You better call someone And get someone down here.

Heather, they're fish. They're not gonna bite you.

No, those are not fish. Those are sharks.

We have to install the coral Inserts at the palms casino.

I was shocked.

The tank wasn't supposed to have Any fish in it till tomorrow.

Our guys Must have put them in early.

Man, there was like 20 sharks in there.

Look at how many sharks -- That's a blacktip right there.

I am not going in that tank. Are you out of your mind?

I was ready to kill brett.

Not that big of a deal. They don't bite.

You go in!

There was nothing we could do.

We had to get these coral Inserts installed today.

We promised the owner We would get it done.

Honestly, I'm very nauseous Right now.

I don't know If I could do this.

We're gonna help you Put the insert in the tank.

We'll get in there quick, And then all you have to do

Is just move it into place, And then we're out of here.

I'll be there. Brett will be up there.

We're gonna be up there With you. It'll fine.

I can't fit in there.

I'm gonna throw up. I'm not going in there.

Please. This has to be done today.

So, please go get your bathing Suit on so we can get this done.

I'm not happy. Whatever.

Wayde: it's a very Difficult thing to tell my wife

To go into a shark tank.

If my wife got bit,

I'd be sleeping on the couch For a year.

Brett: you'll be fine. Come on, let's go.

We got to get them in. One, two, three.

So now it's time For me to get into this tank.

Oh, my god, it's cold.

Stand.

Give me a second.

The scariest thing That I've ever experienced.

First of all, it's cold. I'm scared.

You slow down.

Her toes looked like squid.

The sharks Are starting to go nuts.

They probably thought They were getting fed.

Oh, my god.

I got your hand. Come on, Let's go. You ready?

On three -- One, two, three. Go.

Oh, my god.

There you go.

I'm putting The insert in.

Hold on. Here comes the insert.

Oh, I'm sick to my stomach. I hate you both.

Can you grab it?

Bring it down there A little bit.

Don't scratch The front of the tank.

Yeah, yeah. Watch the front.

Anything else?

Watch the sting ray Under your feet.

Put it down On the floor.

It's fine. It's fine, please.

Let's go.

Oh, my god. You don't even understand.

Heather, listen. Don't heather me.

I hate you both right now. You have no clue.

Oh, my god.

There's the blacktip. Brett!

I'm down here. You got the pole.

They're all by my right now. Oh, my god.

This shark stick Is not working!

We told her that we had These special shark sticks

And they were really Just mop handles.

I'm taking this pole, which Is really like a tooth pick.

After, sharks Are looking at me like I'm nuts.

Come on. We're almost there.

Okay, put that one --

I want that one towards The back wall of the tank.

I want to have A little depth.

No, no. Stop there. Stop.

Pull it towards you A little bit.

Put it down, and then scoop The sand on the edges.

I don't want to see The front lip of the insert.

Make it look natural, like It's growing out of the tank.

I'm trying!

Oh, boy, I'm dead tonight.

Last one. They're all over there!

The last one.

Oh, my god.

You want some cheese With that whine?

My wife is screaming. Brett's laughing.

[ growls ] Don't do that, stupid.

It's chaos.

Heather: you owe me so big for This -- I have to tell you now.

Ultimately, We got the inserts in.

Oh, my god.

Wayde: the tank Is a spectacular aquarium.

Today, my wife took one For the team.

I don't know too many wives That would go into a shark tank

And do what she had to do.

Good job. Good job, ariel.

The things I do For this company.

Brett: we finished up At the palms casino

And wayde and I are now off To meet with some clients

To talk about A new-york-themed aquarium.

Hi. How you are?

So talk to me. What are we Doing? What do we got going on?

Bill: This is our office.

This is where we spend Most of our time, or all Of our time, really.

And we know We want an aquarium.

We were thinking this wall To get started.

Kathy: so we have all This great stuff from new york.

That's who we are. We're new yorkers.

And we're looking for something That is fun and exciting

But also soothing and relaxing.

We know we want A new york theme,

But we don't know Where to go from there.

I grew up surrounded by water On long island,

And I really would like An aquarium

To help me stay connected With my home.

From new york, as well. Oh, that's great.

We're gonna Make this one unbelievable.

Just off the top Of my head,

They always used to say When you brainstorm,

You should think of the first Things that come to your head.

As soon As you said new york,

I started thinking Maybe subway car.

That was the fist thing That kind of came to my mind.

I'm thinking taxi cab.

Okay.

Maybe statue of liberty.

We don't want to block The entrance coming in.

I agree.

Wayde: Brett thinks he's a visionary.

But sometimes his visions Can freak out the clients.

He needs to slow it down,

Give us time to think about Good ideas for the home office.

What we don't want to do is Jump ahead too fast.

You need to come back to us With some ideas.

Whatever happens here, I want to make sure

That we're all onboard With it.

That's no problem. Yeah, that's absolutely fair.

Whatever everyone decides, I can build it.

I got a lot of ideas. We'll create.

You won't be disappointed, I promise.

Dude, come on, Great ideas.

Great ideas -- Get out of here.

Why are you throwing so many -- You went over the top.

You say, "I can do this. I can do this."

As soon as we get there, You started.

Brett: we started talking About new york.

My heart started racing. I started getting excited.

What do you expect me To do?

Die it down once in a while. We talked about it.

Let's make it cool. It's new york.

So let's do it right.

You know what?

Since I did kind of Throw out all the ideas,

Let me just handle it From this point on.

I'll make sure That whatever we find,

I'll get us Some good deals.

I'm a little worried. I'm worried, dude.

Wayde: I've been working on The mob experience tank.

This is gonna be The corner.

This is gonna be the wall When they first walk in.

And this is The other long wall.

Wayde: one of the biggest Challenges on the mob tank

Is actually putting These tvs underwater.

We have to make An acrylic box and seal it.

If we don't do that correct,

We could have An electrical nightmare.

This one's good. That's a problem.

This whole seam Right here.

It's bad. I know.

You want a nice clean seam joint So no water leaks down in here.

I don't want 1,100 gallons Of water on the floor.

Okay. Let's reseal this box So the tv screens can be safe.

And then they're gonna take The acrylic walls

And glue it to the base.

For us to do that, We have to flip the tank over.

Right now this is really Crucial, guys, so be careful.

We don't want the tank To slide or anything.

Now that's a delicate operation At its best.

But an l-shaped tank Is even more challenging

Because it's top heavy.

It can crack. It can be a disaster.

Stay it with, brett. Hold the tank, brett.

Bring it forward. Two inches.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! It's gonna crack!

Hold the tank, brett.

We're flipping The mob tank over

So we can glue The tv boxes to it.

Bring it forward. Two inches.

It's creaking and cracking, And we got to take it real slow.

If we're not careful, It's gonna break.

It's a crucial point Because this insert

Can actually fall down and Destroy the whole entire tank.

Bring it down slowly. Bring it down.

Hold on.

Slow down and back up.

Now that's a relief. That's a relief.

Brett: Yeah. Good job.

So after we flip the mob tank, I went out on a field trip

To a junk yard to find A little piece of new york.

I found something unbelievable. I can't wait to show the guys.

Oh, look at this.

What is it? Brett: are you kidding me? Look at this.

It's new york, baby.

A phone booth? A phone booth?

Wayde: how does that Represent new york?

How many times back in the day In new york city

Did you see these phone booths On the corner?

They're all over, Not just in new york.

I see this becoming An awesome aquarium.

We're gonna make the aquarium Go from here down.

We're gonna cut the hole In the top,

So you could access The aquarium.

Brett: my vision For kathy and bill's aquarium

Is to re-create A new york city street scene.

This phone booth Will be the centerpiece

And will be turned into An aquarium

By removing the interior And most of panels.

Then we will build An acrylic tank

The phone booth shell Will slide over.

Our life support can be On the other side of the wall,

Behind the tank, which will Reduce noise and save space.

We can have theming items Inside the tank,

Like a coral covered phone,

And outside, we could have New-york-themed props

Like a street lamp, A fire hydrant,

And a mural Of the big apple skyline.

It could be awesome.

For $100 investment, It's worth it.

What do you think?

I think I got A lot of work to do.

But we're not doing it yet. Let me sell it to them.

So you're telling me You spent $100 on this,

Five hours of your time,

And the customer, you don't even Know if they want it.

He said he wanted something That represented new york.

You think this is his vision Of new york?

I'm figuring my vision Of new york.

Come on, brett. You do this all the time.

Listen, I can build something, Of course.

Just find out from the customer. Make sure it's right.

I don't want No headaches here.

All right, man I got it. I got to go call the client.

General: what are we going to do With the phone booth

If he says "I don't want the phone booth."

I want something Completely different?

Does it work?

Whoa!

Does it close?

It doesn't even close.

Let me see If it closes.

Let him try.

[ laughter ]

Help!

Help!

Whoa!

Help!

Brett: wayde and red neck Think their funny.

They start throwing us around The shop.

Next thing you know, My dad is in his speedo.

I that's the closest I've been To him in years.

Unbelievable.

We just received a delivery.

We got all these props For theming

For the mob experience tank.

But we're still gonna Have to make some items

For inside the aquarium.

I like the dynamite. Thank you.

Props that go in the tank Have to be waterproof

So they don't fall apart.

And they have to be nontoxic So they don't hurt the fish.

Maybe we could put a chunk Of poligen on this end

So it just sinks to the bottom 'cause this plastic will float.

We make most our props

Out of water safe Cement called poligen.

This stuff is like The ultimate modeling clay.

We can make any shape Out of it.

What you are doing? Getting ready to make The cement shoes.

Yeah, But I'm not liking that.

I don't see no shoes. That Doesn't look like cement shoes.

Be buried in the cement. No one knows that.

You're gonna have a shoe Or something stick out.

No you don't. Two blocks With bones coming out.

What do you think It's gonna look like?

When you say cement shoes, You want to see a shoe.

Take your shoe off. Let me show you.

Hell, no, I'm not taking my shoe Off. Take your show off.

I got sneakers. They don't Have these back in the 20s.

I'm notcome on. Brett. Taking my shoes off.

Why? 'cause I don't want to.

Why are you such A wuss, man?

You start all this crap, And I got to deal with --

Oh, my god, dude. What the hell?

Nick, Hold your breath.

That's what you got to do. Look.

That looks real.

What is this, poligen?

Don't do that To my shoe, guy.

That's real funny.

Oh!

That looks real.

So now you owe me $100 For my shoes.

Keep it up. It's all good.

Brett: wayde he starts throwing Poligen all over my shoes,

Destroyed them.

I can't believe did he that. Unbelievable.

Now I got to spend The rest of the day barefoot.

Good thing I'm not walking home.

I can't believe you, Man.

You know why This gives me an excuse?

I can't work today. I'm going Home. I got to get some shoes.

Dude, You're not going anywhere.

We got to meet The new york clients in an hour.

Hey, brett. Brett: hey, guys. What's going on, man.

Good to see you. Good to see you.

Just thought We would see progress.

Let me show you What you we got so far.

I can't wait for bill and kathy To hear about the phone booth.

What am I looking at?

To me this says new york.

Remember the old days?

There was no cell phones. There was no pagers, no beepers.

I spent a lot of time In the phone booth.

It does bring back A lot of memories.

No cell phones and trying To do business in a pay phone,

And especially one with a door On it, that was a big thing.

It was like having an office In the city.

What about the fish? What we're gonna do With fish

Is do lots of schools of fish, Groups,

Maybe like 15, 20 fish of one color,

15, 20 fish In another color.

They'll represent The people.

Little italy, chinatown, Brooklyn, long island.

I like that. That's a nice idea.

And then what we'll do is one or Two big fishes here and there.

We want people to walk in, And when they see this,

I want it to be like "Oh, My god, that's an aquarium.

I feel like I'm in new york city."

I think that it could work In that room

'cause it's so open.

Right. It is.

You know, with the right props, It could work.

It'll be beyond What you ever expected.

I'd say let's go forward.

Okay. Awesome.

All right, brett, You can say it. Go ahead.

Told you so, wayde.

Doubted me.

[ chuckles ]

Wayde: and now it's time For a quick fish fact.

Find out after the break.

Wayde: The answer is "A," goldfish.

Goldfish do not have a stomach So they can't store food.

They have to eat In small quantities frequently.

Feeding them a large meal Once a day is not only wasteful

But can contaminate the water.

Feed them small amounts Four to five times a day.

Wayde: We're getting started

On the new york themed Phone booth tank.

Robbie redneck is stripping down The phone booth

To hold the tank.

How we doing, redneck?

All right.

Are you gonna make this Permanent now?

The door?

I will when I'm done.

I'm taking apart and seeing What I got to do

To hold it back together.

Wayde: redneck, He can build anything.

He's the only one I know That can take an acrylic tank

And fit it In this old phone booth.

Wayde: it is gonna be Structurally strong?

Robbie: yeah. I don't want it to be Too flimsy.

Hey, can you come out In a superman outfit?

No.

Yo!

You said You needed a phone.

Your boy got a phone.

I found this baby online.

Reached out And touched someone, baby.

Does it work?

Put a dime in it, It might.

Well, you better start Dialing 911,

Bringing me That piece of garbage.

What do you mean, "Piece Of garbage," red? Kidding me?

Put it in. Get 'er done.

Get out of here. You got a phone. Go.

Go inside.

I'll look at it. Get out Of here. Don't worry about it.

If you need any help, Don't bother to call.

I think you can Take care of this, redneck.

If can you gut this thing And you put a clear over it,

It won't rust or anything And then sit it in there.

It's gonna Look really good.

Wayde: first thing we're gonna Do with the phone

Is remove the insides.

That way it doesn't corrode Underwater and harm the fish.

And last, we're gonna Turn the entire headset

Into a bubbler.

And then This is gonna be

Slowly just bubbling up A little bit.

That's gonna look Really cool.

Brett: today wayde and I Are flying to l.A.

To hand pick the fish That will be going in

Our clients' tanks.

Wayde and I really like To do this personally.

Plus, it's important to us That the fish are eco-friendly.

How you doing? Yo, what's up, buddy?

What's going on, man? How are you?

Howall right?Ing? Good. Yeah.

So we're going this really cool Mob-themed aquarium.

We're not looking For anything real small.

We're looking for some really Nice-sized stuff.

Nice, tough fish.

Something big and flashy To kind of match

The pizzazz of the tank?

Brett: hey, So what about right here?

What about the naso tangs? I like naso tangs.

All right, yeah.

Yeah, here we got some Regular naso tangs.

They're big.

They got some good color, Good contrast to them.

Oh, wayde, we got to get This one right here.

The brazilian queen angel. It could be pretty aggressive.

There's only supposed to be One of these in the tank.

Wayde: it's like the godfather. You can only have one.

Brett: hey, wayde, Blue ring angel right here.

That would be great For the mob tank.

He just sits back And waits

Before he makes his move.

Great mob mentality.

Look at the star fish.

Wayde: I like coming here And seeing all the fish.

I feel like a kid In a toy store

Playing with all these fish.

These guys Are feather dusters.

As soon As you touch them,

They scoot right Into the shell.

Boom.

Ka-boom.

Boom. They all hide.

Very cool.

Man, stop playing around With the fish, man,

Come on. Leave me alone.

It looks Just like brett.

Oh, my god.

Leave the guy alone.

Come on. Give it a rest.

Hey, so I got another tank I want to talk to you about.

It's a crazy idea,

But we're building A phone booth tank.

You know how in new york You're in rush hour

And all the people Come out at one time?

Tons of people.

I'm thinking about doing Like a school of fish.

Make it very crowded, Kind of like new york.

Crowd the tank up.

Brett: The yellowtail damsels,

Those will be like Our nypd blue.

Justin: yeah, So I got them yellow tangs.

These are sustainably Collected from hawaii.

Brett: dude, they remind me of New york city taxi cabs.

There's not a ton Of all-yellow fish.

So, if you want something

That's gonna be Just bright yellow,

Yellow tangs Is the way to go.

Wayde: when fish are getting Ready to be shipped,

They're put into A plastic bag.

The bag then oxygenated, Wrapped up, put into a box,

And then put onto an airplane.

The fish can only live in these Boxes 24 to 48 hours.

Once they're shipped,

It's critical to get them Into the tanks

In one or two days.

All right. Thank you. Be good. All right.

Wayde: Today is a big day for us.

Not only are we finishing up

Our tank for The las vegas mob experience,

We're also ready to install Our phone booth tank

In kathy and bill's Home office.

Redneck and nick Were up all night

Doing the coral insert On the phone.

That looks like

The phone booth's been Underwater for a year or two

With the coral growing on it.

That came out bad-ass.

Easy, guys! Easy.

The phone booth tank Is 1,200 pounds.

When you're building An aquarium,

The last minute Is the most crucial point.

It could break.

It could crack. It could scratch.

Watch your fingers, Clyde.

Oh [bleep] You're gonna bump it.

Oh, boy.

I got to hold These guys' hands all the time.

Get all the plastic off Now, guys.

Aaron, get that corner Over there.

Clyde, you have to go up Three inches higher.

Look at this! The real fire hydrant.

Fire hydrant's So real,

Walk up to it.A I know.

So right now it's time To hook up

Our life-support system.

So we have to drill a hole Through the tank

To make sure that The plumbing lines up.

Hey, I got a problem.

Look. See that?

Brett: dude, The holes aren't lining up.

You cut it too far Over to the right.

That's what I'm saying.

We got problems.

So the plumbing Goes through the tank

At holes called bulkheads.

The acrylic is so thick That we had to cut two holes,

One from the outside And one from the inside.

We cut the inside hole In the wrong spot.

So now the plumbing won't seal And the tank won't hold water.

This isn't good.

Aaron: dude, that sucks So [bleep] Bad.

[bleep]

[bleep] Damn it.

No. For what?

Aaron, if we have A bigger hole saw

That's the size of this,

We just cut out The bigger size.

That will sit perfect.

Brett: Does it fit?

Wayde: It's perfect.

Oh, thank god.

Push From the bottom.

Make sure it's square On the stand, guys.

Okay. That's good.

Brett: so while the tank's Filling with water,

We have to acclimate the fish To the proper temperature

Inside these big barrels

So the fish don't get shocked When they go into the new home.

Once this is done,

They're ready to move in And make their first call.

Brett: all right, There we go, wayde.

We got some yellow tangs.

Red squirrels From the indo-pacific area.

Wayde: they're like the new york Fire department.

It's not easy getting These little guys out of here.

There we go.

We have a bunch Of the damsels now

For all the little people In manhattan.

There's domino damsels, There's black and white damsels,

There's blue.

That's the last one.

Fits likes a glove.

Almost want to make a call.

Wayde: voilà.

I love it When a tank comes together.

I like it.

Wayde: what you are doing, Brett?

Breaking it now?

Don't even let him Touch the tank.

I'm getting a ladder. You're the one watching him.

Someone's got to keep An eye on him. [ chuckles ]

Come here.

I like it.

Looks like new york city.

So, we're there. So, what are we waiting for?

I'm really excited To show this tank

To bill and kathy And their family.

This is when we find out

If all of our hard work Really paid off.

Come on in. Young boy: whoa!

I'm really excited To show this tank

To bill and kathy And their family.

This is when we find out

If all of our hard work Really paid off.

Come on in. Young boy: whoa!

[ cheers and applause ]

Oh, my god. Oh, wow.

Kathy: I love it.

Bill: it looks like it Was pulled right off Of a street corner.

So, I know the way We operate back home,

Sometimes we do things Like that.

Wayde: I want to explain Some of the things that We've done for you guys.

We have the mural.

South street seaport, The brooklyn bridge.

I couldn't have picked A better scene.

Brett: the whole New york city street,

Gives you that feeling Of everything.

It's beautiful.

Old school light post.

We got you The walt journal,

The new york times Newspapers.

Wayde: we have a real phone That's inside it.

Redneck made This custom bubbler

That's built into the receiver

So the receiver has bubbles Coming out of it.

He added All this custom coral to it

To give it a little age to it

So like it's been underwater For a little while.

Kathy: It's beautiful.

And then brett picked out All the fish.

Brett: there's A fox-face rabbit fish.

He's got venomous fins,

So be careful When you reach into the tank.

There's also blue green chromis

Who are much more laid-back And nonaggressive.

And we've got yellow tangs.

They can be aggressive towards One another

Unless you introduce them At the same time,

Which we did.

There's black and white, Yellow tail, and domino damsels.

They tend to school together And can be a little territorial.

Wayde: we want it to feel Like it was like rush hour.

When the subways open up And everybody comes running out.

Brett: you got a lot Of different schools of fish,

All different kinds of people.

This makes me feel Like I'm a little closer, guys.

I got to tell you. I mean, I'm touched.

We're actually feeling

Like we're on a street corner In new york.

And that really hits home

And really touches me Personally.

I couldn't have pictured Anything better than this.

I mean, you guys Outdid yourself, really.

Well, I just want to Thank you guys

For giving us The opportunity.

Doing a new york aquarium Comes right from the heart.

Being from new york --

All the building at atm Comes from the heart.

But this one Is even extra special.

I had to reach down, Deep inside

'cause being from new york, We had to represent.

I hope it's everything That you guys dreamed of.

It's that and more.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thanks. No problem.

Thanks. All right, guys.

Wayde: so the new york Phone booth tank

Is installed And the family loves it.

Now we have to get That gigantic tank

Over to the mob experience At the tropicana.

I got this side. You're good.

Even though All the individual parts

Are done,

We still have a lot to do To put it together.

First, we have to demolish The section of the wall

Where the tank has to go.

[ sighs ]

Now, that's demolition.

Then we roll in the steel frame That the tank sits on top of.

Yee-haw!

Then we have to take the tank

And slide it on top Of the steel stand.

Listen, I'm putting the Two strongest carts

Under the tank.

All right, little boys?

Are we good? Okay? Here we go.

Guys, Start sliding it slow.

Wayde: to move an l-shaped tank Is very difficult.

It has to be equally supported.

If one side's off And you're moving it,

You can crack it.

Push.

Start pushing it out A little bit.

You're on the cart. Push it out a little bit.

No.

Push.

Whoa!Whoa!

Oh, my god.

Hold on to the tank.

Roller coaster.

All right, Relax, girls.

This is not Our first rodeo.

Roll it over slow, Guys.

All right, listen.

We're gonna start Pushing slowly, everybody.

I want it on the stand.

Count of three, We're gonna push it, okay?

One...Two...Three.

Keep going.

Are the walls lined up?

Keep going. It's all right.

One, two, three.

Push!

Keep going.

Keep going!

Use a little muscle, Brett.

Oh, yeah!

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!Yeah!

Yeah!

Like a glove.

Wayde: we're gonna get the tvs In first, wires,

And then we can put All the filters in.

Once the tank's in place,

We have to install Our theming items

Inside and outside the tank.

Hey, the tv goes this way. [ chuckles ]

The tvs are gonna be placed Underneath the aquarium

And the wires Are gonna hang down

And never touch the water.

Go ahead. I'm good.

Slide my way. My way.

All the crushed coral's in. Let's get the water next.

Brett: We're filling up this bad boy.

It's gonna take about 1,100 gallons of water

To get this thing full.

Wayde: we got a problem. The water's too hot.

Water needs to be 75 degrees, not 90.

When we were filling The aquarium,

We only had a hot water line.

The hot water's 92 degrees.

The fish, If they go in that temperature,

They're gonna die.

We have 21 boxes of fish.

We can't leave the fish In the boxes.

If we leave them in too long,

It's gonna deplete their oxygen.

We're filling the aquarium,

And I notice the water's Coming in extremely hot.

You can't put fish In 90-degree water.

We got to put ice in there To cool it down.

Those fish will die.

All right, let me see If these guys have ice.

Thank god we're in a hotel.

We're gonna be putting Those ice machines to good use.

Yo, more ice!

How we looking On temperature?

Temperature is good. We got 76 degrees.

It's coming together.

I'm still nervous, But it's coming together.

Let's test the tvs.

It's working.

We're good.

Brett: there we go. Look at that.

Lowering the dynamite.

Pretty sweet, huh?

All right. No, no, over.

Good. Right there. Perfect.

Hey, nick, let's get The cement shoes,

My cement shoes.

Those $150 cement shoes.

All right. Let's go, straight down.

I think you need to, like, Kind of turn the cement shoe

On an angle, too.

Now it's gonna float?

That's some pretty lame cement.

[ laughs ]

Look at that.

You'd float right back To the top.

The mob would have fired you.

You'd would have threw The accountant in the river

And he'd come floating back.

Unbelievable, dude.

You know, I get all the scheming Just right

And your shoes Ruin everything.

Yeah, it's my shoes.

The mob experience tank With no cement shoes.

Where's the hold fast?

Give a little twist, Nick.

It turns out

That the cement shoes Were lighter than air.

So we had to use some Fish-friendly glue

To keep them down at the bottom.

Wayde: so now we got the ph Just right,

The temperature's perfect, Salinity, everything is great.

Now we can put the fish In their new homes.

None of them will get whacked.

There we go.Wayde: oh, wow. Look at that.

Wow, What a regal angel.

That thing is beautiful.

Oh, There goes another one.

Looks like it's wearing Pinstripes.

Looks like He's ready for jail.

Man, look at the colors On that blue jaw trigger.

Looking good. Look, cruising.

There's sweet lips Over there, too.

Oriental sweet lips Is making its way.

Oh, There's a blue tang.

Oh, wow!

That thing is awesome. Wow.

That guy's huge.

There goes Another one, brett.

Look at that one. Oh, my god.

Oh, look at that Parrot fish!

Look at the angel.

Oh, my god.

The brazilian queen angel. Is that not beautiful?

I like the streamers On the back.

Look at that fish.

We got some bad-ass fish.

I guess it's show time.

Brett: I wanted to make this Not just an aquarium.

I wanted to make this An experience.

My heart starts racing

'cause I'm waiting to see The reaction of everybody.

I know how bad-ass it looks.

All right, everybody.

So without further ado, I think we're going to do this.

Here we go.

One...Two...

Three! Three!Three!

[ cheers and applause ]

Lou: That's beautiful.

Brett: So, inside the aquarium,

We got the old 1932 license plate.

Lou: That's really cool.

You got the crow bar. Oh, boy.

We know what The crow bar's for.

U.S. Steel, too. I like that.

Open the crates...

And beat people When they don't pay.
