Wayde: On this episode of "Tanked"...

What if we turn a pinball Machine into an aquarium?

How awesome would that be?

Be careful. All right, give me. I got it.

I got it. Come on, Just give it to me!

[ glass breaks ] Oh!

It's A pretty cool system.

This is what I was thinking The tank should look like.

Taking a robot and putting it In a tank, it's not that easy.

How hard can it be?

[ laughing ] Oh!

This is The moment of truth.

[ cheers and applause ] Look!

Wayde: I'm wayde king.

Brett: I'm brett raymer.

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 build aquariums.

We're the number-one Aquarium builders in the world.

It's a family business, For sure.

[ indistinct shouting ]

I was forced Into this relationship.

I married brett's sister.

Brett: 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.

Captions paid for by Discovery communications

We're in woburn, massachusetts To meet with lou.

He's the c.E.O. Of highres biosolutions,

A company that builds Robotic systems

To help scientists Discover new drugs.

Lou: Hey, how you doing?

What's going on, buddy? What's up? How are you?

Wayde: they're building Brand-new offices here,

And they want our tank to be The centerpiece of their lobby.

Let me show you the facility. All right.

So, we walk in the door, We meet up with lou,

And he takes us down this Corridor into the warehouse.

Oh, my god, There were robots everywhere.

I felt like I was in a sci-fi movie.

So, What does this thing do?

Scientists would normally Get a system like this

For looking for New pharmacologic leads

In bioag And other industries.

I have no idea What he's talking about.

[ laughs ]

This is our signature product Called the microstar system.

Every major pharmaceutical Company in the world

Uses these systems.

It's a pretty cool system. It looks very intricate.

Yeah, it is, it is.

This is what I was thinking The tanks should look like.

Three different tanks, I'm thinking.

You want A big square tank,

A hexagon tank, And a round tank...

That's right.

...Side by side? Right.

Since you got Three aquariums here,

We could do three different Types of aquatic life.

I think that would be So awesome.

Yeah, I like that.

Maybe some sharks, maybe Some eels, maybe some stingrays,

And then we kind of mix them in With some fish.

Colorful fish.

Right, so that just gives you, You know,

More flavor throughout The aquariums,

And it's gonna give people More to look at.

Yeah, I like that. I like that idea.

Let's do this -- let's find out Where they're going,

So at least we could Size things up.

Yeah, Let me show you the lobby.

So, right here, Boom, boom, boom.

I got a great idea.

Oh, boy, Here we go again.

No, I'm serious. I got a really good idea.

I hate When you say that.

I bet you This has never been done.

I think lou is really gonna Think this is cool.

I know you can Program these robots to do

Just about anything, right? Yeah, almost anything.

What about making them Feed each one of the tanks?

That'd be awesome.

Take the thing, Put it in the middle,

It zips around, feeds one tank, Feeds the other, feed the other.

It'd be like The world's largest fish feeder.

We can do it.

Taking a robot and putting it In a tank and making it work,

It's not that easy. Oh, you can do it.

I'll get you the robot As soon as possible.

Awesome.

I'm really excited About this job.

The microstar system aquarium

Will consist Of three large tanks --

One square, one hexagon, And one round

Spanning 18 feet across.

The centerpiece of this aquarium Is a large robotic arm

That will extend out

And be programmed to feed The fish in all three tanks.

It'll know the right amount Of food to dispense

At the exact time of each day -- Some real high-tech stuff.

Hey, man, thanks For having us out here.

It was A real nice experience.

After that, I'm looking forward To some simpler machines.

Our next client, He's in chicago.

His name is jed.

He's a conservation Police officer,

And he loves old-school games, Pinball machines, and fish.

This is it.

Man, oh, man!

Look at this place, man. This place is cool, man.

Got the 20-gallon upstairs, Kind of get our feet wet.

Right.

And now we want something For down here.

What are you actually thinking To do down here?

Well, as you see, we got a lot Of old, vintage arcade games

And vintage pinball machines, So...

I see you've even got your own Video game with your name on it.

Yeah, absolutely. [ laughs ]

Wow, this is awesome.

So, the creativity of it all I'm gonna leave up to you guys,

But I'd like to do something, You know, with the vintage, Old-school pinball arcade,

Something along those lines.

These machines all work? All of them work.

I think I want to play Some pinball.

Nothing gets the creative juices Flowing like game play.

Is it all right if we try them? Go ahead, yeah.

[ pinball machines ringing, Whirring ]

Oh, this thing's -- What are you doing?

Oh, you're trying to tilt me. You think you're funny.

Good try, though.

[ grunts, laughs ]

Yeah, tilt, baby! What's wrong with you?

You're always a cheater -- Unbelievable.

Come on.

[ ringing, whirring continues ]

What if we turn a pinball Machine into an aquarium?

How awesome would that be?

Yeah, pinball machine Into an aquarium!

That would be awesome.

As big of a fanatic as you are, Having something

That you could actually walk Up to, you can actually play.

So, you can do an aquarium In a pinball theme

That you can actually Still play?

It'd be a working Aquarium pinball machine?

Yeah, a working pinball Machine/aquarium.

That would be fantastic.

Wayde: you know, I really think It's a cool idea,

But I really don't know How I'm gonna do this.

I bet you We can go back to vegas,

I bet you we can find an Old pinball machine somewhere,

Another one. I'm excited, guys.

We got to catch a flight, man, But, hey, thanks for having us.

Man, when we left jed's, Wayde was pissed.

Dude, What is wrong with you?

What do you mean?

A functional Pinball machine.

It's got components, Switchboards.

It's got wires All over the place.

Next thing is what, A rocket-ship tank?

You know what? Rocket-ship Tank's not a bad idea.

I'm gonna call nasa When we get back.

While we were in chicago,

The guys got started On the hexagon tank,

Which is the most difficult Of the three tanks

That we're making For the highres bio.

The tough part here is lining up The seams precisely.

It's a good thing that we Got started because lou called,

And he wanted to have A video conference

To check in on our progress.

Since I'm not there, there's Only one man for the job.

You want me to skype?

Yeah, skype.

Yeah, yeah, okay. I'll take care of it.

Have a good trip.

Hey, How's everybody going?

Hi, grandpa.

Heather, You got to help me.

I just got a call From brett.

He told me To skype somebody,

And I have no idea What he's even talking about --

Never had skype, Never did skype,

Don't know anything About skype.

How do you not know About skype?

I was born in 1944.

I had two tin cans To call a friend.

Skyping's the simplest thing In the world.

Oh, you know what?

Get yourself up, Show me how to skype.

You guys could skype us.

You're gonna go To video call.

All right.

Then we're gonna wait For mom and morgan to answer.

Okay.

Heather, can you hear me?

Heather: Yeah, I hear you.

Heather, morgan, I'm waving.

Can you see me?

Kayla: bring the top to you. Yeah.

I got to bring the top To me.

The top of the laptop.

All right, I'm bringing the top To me. I still don't see it.

That's the bottom! I can't see you!

There's the top! I'm bringing it here!

Taylor: Put the computer down!

Oh, my gosh.

You're making me dizzy.

Pull it forward. Oh, there I am. Okay.

Oh, there you are!

Okay, you see me. I'm waving.

Right here.

Now, if I want to bring this Into the shop,

I want to see That I can show certain things.

Where is the viewfinder Where they see us?

Where is -- is that up here?

Yeah, You see that little thing?

Right, so as long as I hold that In front of the area...

Why anyone would ask him To skype is beyond me.

It's not like a remote At your house.

Don't worry about it. I press a couple of buttons.

How hard can it be? [ laughing ] Oh!

While we were meeting With our client in chicago,

I entrusted the general to skype The robot guys from boston

To update them on the tank That we were building.

All right, let's see What happens. Oh, there he is.

Lou, can you see me?

Yeah, I'm here, irwin. How you doing?

Okay, brett told me To give you a call,

So I'm gonna just take You around a little bit To see what we're doing.

I'm gonna pick you up And carry you around.

You can see here Are some of the tanks.

I'll just go backwards A little bit.

In the back, we have some birds. Can you see the cages?

Pretty bird. Oh, yeah.

The octagon tank coming up Right over here.

Oh, hexagon, hexagon. You're right.

It's kind of Confusing here

Because I'm not Such a computer whiz.

The other tanks? Yeah, they're over here. Wait.

Just take a look.

Whoa!

I can't hear a word That you're saying.

In my day, People used to write letters.

Here, I'm running around With a little computer,

And it just doesn't Make any sense.

All right.

All right, lou, Take care.

Wayde: We're back from chicago, and we Need an antique pinball machine

To turn into A functional aquarium.

There's only one antique In this office

That comes to mind To help me find it.

Down at the Pinball hall of fame,

There's 200 to 250 Various machines that I've seen.

Some of them I played Before you were even born.

So we're gonna head down there To find the perfect machine.

Boy, oh, boy. Wait, here's one.

Buccaneer.

Wayde: oh, it's pirates.

I like the ship wheel.

Oh, The ship wheel is nice.

That's a picture of poseidon With his fork.

Look at the stingray.

It's the best so far.

Look, it's got divers. It's got schools of fish.

I like this. Look, It has shark, it has coral.

Let's talk to the owner. Let's see if he'll sell it. Let's figure it out.

I'll go find the guy. All right.

General. Yeah?

This is tim. He's the main man here.

Hey, tim. How are you? I'm the pinball guy.

Wait, wait, wait, Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Oh! 500 -- 5,000 points!

Irwin, irwin, irwin. What? What? What?

I called him over To do us a favor.

Can you stop For two seconds?

Yeah, okay, I'm listening.

The 5,000 points is now!

Stop!

So, you like this game. I love this game.

Unfortunately, I never sell my friends.

My machines are my friends.

I don't like humans.

I like machines, and I've never Sold one yet, never will.

Wayde: wow.

Tim -- he really likes His pinball machines.

I know a guy here in town

That actually has another one Of these.

Same one? Same machine.

Same stingray, Everything just like this?

Yeah, they made 3,006 Of this machine in 1977,

So it's a pretty common game.

This is precious. I'm not selling precious.

But, yeah, my friend Will sell you one.

We got it, tim. Precious stays with you.

All I got to do is call this guy Up and get a machine for myself.

I'm probably gonna go back there And play some more.

Yeah, I haven't seen pinball Since coney island like that.

Yo, dude, you should've came To the pinball place, dude --

The hall of fame.

This place was packed With pinballs.

Well, we got other problems Than the pinball machine.

What do you mean?

So, I get a call from lou,

And he seems a little bit short With me,

Tells me he's coming out here.

They're not Shipping the robot.

They're actually shipping it And coming with it.

What did you say To the robot guys?

I thought everything Went fine.

Oh, it went fine, dad? [ scoffs ]

That's not what I heard.

I don't know. Maybe they just wanted a tour.

So, Let me get this straight.

You're gonna tell me that The guy's gonna travel out here

3,000 miles to come out here For a tour?

I don't think so.

What can I tell you? I don't know.

My dad's not the best With technology.

I mean, he's still got a pager.

Well, you showed him everything That I told you to show him?

I couldn't find Two of the tanks.

So why don't you call me And tell me? Dad, seriously?

I took out, and I tried To skype the guy, lou.

I was showing him around.

I found one tank, and then he Asked for the other two tanks.

I didn't know where they were, So I was showing it around.

You got beautiful tanks.

The guy comes out, He'll see our facility.

Maybe they'll order Some more stuff from us.

I mean, really, I thought it went okay.

I don't think It's such a big deal.

You know what? Let him come here.

Let's put this Whole thing together.

Less work for us. We'll see how it works out.

When my dad's responsible For something [scoffs]

You never know What's gonna happen.

What's up, guys?

Back at the shop,

Lou and the highres crew From boston just arrived.

They brought The giant robotic arm

That we're gonna turn into A high-tech feeder for the tank.

Lou is here to teach us How to use the robot

And to see that, yes, We do have three tanks built.

I really need to See this all together

So I understand it all Better.

Watch your feet.

Redneck, this one's going Dead center of the middle stand.

It's gonna hold the robotic arm.

Dude, this thing Ain't going anywhere.

Brett: I think It's bending a little.

Easy. [ laughs ]

The stand alone is impressive.

I can't wait to see This thing in action.

Lou: these are the actual Trays the robot will Use to feed the fish.

Are you controlling it Right now,

Or is it doing it on its own? It's doing it on its own.

So you already programmed it To do that already?

Yeah, it's running A complete program now.

We can make that arm turn and Dump and do everything, right?

Can do anything You want.

It's pretty fast, too. That is pretty fast.

[ laughter ]

That's real funny, guys. That's funny.

That's funny. That, I like.

I guess this is these Robot geeks' idea of a prank.

Next thing you know, he's gonna Hit me with an abacus.

Dude, it's in my underwear. Coming out all angles.

[ laughs ]

Yeah, sometimes it just has A mind of its own.

Oh, now -- I don't have control.

It accidentally dumped on me On its own.

That's funny, guys. It had a malfunction, right?

Thanks for dumping fish food On my head.

I appreciate it. [ laughs ]

Once lou and his crew were gone, I wanted to see how easy it was

To get this thing Up and running.

We're gonna make this thing Do some new tricks.

Dude, it's not like a remote At your house.

Don't worry about it. I press a couple of buttons.

How hard can it be? This, that, and then push that.

[ laughing ] Oh!

What are you doing?

I guess that wasn't it.

Dude, man, Just leave it alone.

You're gonna break it Or something.

Let me try To put it back down.

Point "A," point "B," Point "C."

Press that, hit reset, And then press that.

Ah!

Ah!

Wayde: Brett knowing how to control This complex robot scares me.

He can take out A whole aquarium project

With the push of a button.

"B"!

I got redneck a present.

Brett: wayde's contact At the pinball hall of fame --

He came through With a perfect machine.

Let's put it together.

This is as old As your dad.

That's old.

I want it out of the way So you don't break it.

Now let's hope it works.

Oh, look at that.

You promised him a functionable Pinball and an aquarium.

I mean, I was definitely Thinking about making

The fish tank somewhere up here, Up at the top.

Did you see behind here? No.

This has wires in it. This has electrical in it.

You hold that, wayde.

Where are you gonna Put it?

Holy cow!

Dude, I didn't know what Was in there. I had no Idea what was in there.

There's no way that we Can put the aquarium into This pinball machine.

There's way too much crap In there.

What are you thinking?

Oh, that's right -- You weren't thinking. You were just selling.

I know, I know! Look at all that stuff!

I really think brett stuck his Foot in his mouth on this one.

I don't know.

We're doing testing Right now.

The only question is, will it Carry the weight of the water?

You ready?

1... 2...

Heather: As he gets up and lets go.

...3.

Brett: we hit a wall Trying to figure out

How to put a fish tank inside A functioning pinball machine.

It's what our client wants, And we want to deliver.

There's just too much Wiring and electronics

To put any tank inside Without starting from scratch.

It's a lot more than I really Expected, to be honest with you.

There's no way A tank's going in here.

All right, It may not be catastrophic.

Come on, Pull me out of the hole.

Okay, Is there a possibility

Of bringing out The acrylic this way

And make the aquarium around it, Where you still got the --

Still got the flippers.

You make it from here.

You build it out maybe 10 inches On either side.

I mean, it's doable.

It looks like This old-school machine

Required Some old-school thought.

I think we can still do Something with this top, Even as a third tank.

A third tank?

You know what? That's not a bad idea.

We can probably get away With something like that.

We're going full tilt On this pinball-machine tank.

It's three freshwater tanks

Surrounding a vintage, Functioning pinball machine.

Two separate tanks Will go along the side panels

Of the pinball machine, Each supported by a steel stand.

A third tank will go in front of The back glass of the machine,

So jed will still be able to see His high score through the tank

As he's playing his One-of-a-kind pinball aquarium.

I think it'll look golden.

We'll figure it out.

It was a good idea. Good. I got some ideas.

Both of you Go in the office.

Me and redneck will take care Of it, please.

That's a lot of work. I know.

Getting this pinball machine Up and running isn't easy.

Lucky for us, we got tim From the pinball hall of fame

To help us out.

We need to retrofit The scoreboard

So it lights up And still accommodates the tank.

We have to take this scoreboard And hang it on the wall

So that, technically, All these wires

Are gonna have to be extended Maybe 3 to 4 feet.

We need to either cut this Or add plugs, an extension cord.

This is gonna be An immense job.

A couple years ago, I had a guy Who gave me a machine

That fell off The back of a truck.

I know what "Fell off The back of the truck" means,

Especially in brooklyn.

It was literally Going down the freeway,

And they didn't strap it down. Oh, boy.

Oh, it really fell off a truck.

Hit the freeway, busted up Into little, bitty pinball bits.

Gotcha.

I got the little, bitty pinball Bits, including all the wire.

It's like a pinball machine Organ donation.

This is from The same manufacturer.

It's from the same year.

So every single wire that's In that cable is in this cable.

I have to cut it Down there...

Right.

...I have to find it In here,

And then run That same identical wire?

Yep.

After everything else I have to worry about,

This is the last thing I need.

It's hours of work.

But without a high score To strive for,

This machine's Completely worthless.

Oh, no!

What's wrong?

It don't go under The machine.

Is this level?

Yeah.

Okay, you know it's not Supposed to be, right?

A pinball machine's on an angle. The ball needs to roll down.

It can't sit. It won't work.

I'm not building For a pinball machine.

I'm building for tanks.

You need to have to picture The pinball machine.

I mean, then the whole tanks Are pitched.

All the water's flowing To one end.

I don't care if you do It with spacers or you Do it with the legs,

But this machine has to be on an Angle so this ball will operate.

Let's get the side wings on it, Let's finish it off,

We'll put the supports in it, And we're done.

The freshwater fish For the pinball tanks

Are being shipped to chi-town, And we're off

To exotic reef imports In los angeles

To pick out the perfect fish For the robot tanks.

For this high-tech aquarium,

We want the same sleek design As my high-tech gadgets,

So we're gonna stock The three separate tanks

With the sleek, metallic look Of sharks, stingrays, and eels.

Right down here.

Yeah?

We just got a shipment From down under, from australia.

Okay.

And we got one Of the coolest sharks,

One of my personal favorites, The wobbegong.

Oh, I love that. I like the wobbegong.

Love them. Awesome.

Cruises around like a spaceship On the bottom.

I want a wobbegong For the robot tank

'cause they're bad to the bone,

And the fact That they swim at the bottom

Is great for viewing, Especially for tanks

That are low to the ground Like the one we're building.

The colors are unbelievable.

They, like, blend Right into the ground.

Their prey come right up To them, and then they attack.

Hey, rob, you got a net? Can I pick him up?

Absolutely.

Just pick him up carefully And be careful of his teeth.

Stay away from the mouth.

I'm staying away From everything.

I don't want him to bite.

Dude, look how beautiful That guy is.

His teeth can take Your finger off.

And you'll notice that the eyes Are on the top.

That's typical of any kind of Bottom-dwelling benthic animal

'cause he wants to see What's going on in his world.

I think We got what we need.

Now we need to figure out what We're gonna do for the ray tank.

Yeah, let's go. Come on down here.

We're finishing off the robotic Tank with blue metal accents,

And these blue dot stingrays

Will keep the inside Just as colorful as the outside.

I love these animals. Yeah, I love them, too.

They're gorgeous. The bluespotted stingray.

You know what I like About the blue dots the most?

I like that they got Two palates.

Most people don't know that Because they eat shellfish,

And they're able To crush them.

Yeah, They're gorgeous animals.

Brett: the last predator I want For the robot tanks are eels.

They remind me of the robot arms

Because They're fast and efficient

And can move in any direction.

Rob -- he's gonna let us explore These guys on our own.

Whoa, look at those!

Look how many eels he's got, Dude.

I love the eels. These guys are great.

We got the snowflakes. We got the zebra moray.

We got the undulated eel.

Oh, my god, Look at all them, dude.

Wow.

That's the zebra right here. Look. They crush things.

Shrimp, crabs.

He'd be awesome.

Wow, that's awesome.

You got to put fish That are big enough

That it can't fit In his mouth.

Otherwise, The fish are history.

Oh, look, he just Saved somebody. Look at that.

He jumped over. Those eels would've munched him.

We're gonna need a lot.

You know, that tank's probably 600, 700 gallons at least.

This is a big tank. We need some big eels.

Wayde: We're back in vegas, and my Atm crew worked around the clock

To get the acrylic ready For the pinball-machine tank.

Redneck and I just finished The steel stands.

The question is, is will they Hold the weight of the water?

That's probably 250 pounds. This is 250 pounds.

You want me to fill these And give a water test to them?

Sure, we can do The typical water test,

But that's not as fun As what I have in mind.

Give me a minute. Just give me a minute.

I need your help. I need your help. Come on.

Wow. Oh, this is cool.

You like?

Yeah, it's very nice. That looks good.

So, what do we actually Have to help you with?

We're doing testing Right now.

What kind of testing? We don't test tanks.

Today you do.

You know what I'm thinking? Mm-hmm.

Come here, girls. What?

Come here. Come on.

Get up. Come here. [ grunts ]

Oh, my god! What are you doing?

Whoa! You know what?

Come here. Sit right there.

Oh, my god, Is this gonna break?

Don't move.

Put your feet up. You too.

Hit it.

How much do you weigh?

How much do you weigh?

So, who asks a woman Their weight?

We didn't volunteer for this. That's rude.

That's pretty rude.

You better start guessing. We're not giving that up.

It's a little off-balance This way.

Really?

Listen, that's 250 pounds Of water on that side.

She might be right there.

[ laughter ]

You know what? We're gonna Have to double it up.

[ grunts ]

Put it over here. Got it? Yeah.

Stand on here? Yeah, stand there.

It's not gonna break, Right?

You just sat on it.

I don't know.

And now what?

You, me?

Oh, my god, no, no.

Really?

Wayde's gonna make that thing Tip over.

Listen, I'm not taking my chances

With this one Going up on that.

No way.

You ready?

1... 2...

As he gets up and lets go.

...3.

[ all shouting, laughter ]

I think we're good.

Wow, it holds.

How much weight is on here now? What do you guys weigh?

What do you mean What do we weigh?

You asked us. How much do you weigh?

You don't ask a guy How much he weighs.

Oh, really?

Well, I'm glad it'll hold.

Hey. Good job, team.

Get back to work. Out. Good job, team.

Wayde: we added decals And stainless-steel tank tops

To give the aquarium a real pop.

I can't wait to see this In jed's game room in chicago.

We actually got to get this Thing packed up tonight And get it out of here.

We got to get this on a truck All packed up

And get to chicago In three days.

Can you grab that, "B," or no?

Redneck: wait, I'll help you. Hold it, hold it.

I got it. You got it?

Oh, wayde doesn't think I can handle to pull My weight around here.

I'm not the one that needed help Carrying my tank, buddy.

Does this whole piece come off As one whole piece?

Don't think.

Let's take the glass out.

Got your fingers under it?

[ grunts ]

Be careful. All right, give me. I got it.

I got it. Come on, Just give it to me!

Redneck: oh!

Oh!

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

Brett: The answer is "A," grouper.

Groupers will swallow their prey Through a powerful mouth

And gill system that sucks Their prey in from a distance.

So whenever a grouper Takes a breath, watch out.

We built an awesome tank from A 1977 vintage pinball machine.

All we have to do is pack it up And ship it to chicago.

Can you grab that, "B," or no?

Brett: I got it. You got it?

Yeah. Be careful.

All right, give me. I got it. I got it.

Come on, Just give it to me!

Oh!

Oh!

It's an antique. How are we gonna replace this?

Do you know how much work Went into this?!

This thing's In a million pieces, brett!

We're never gonna Get another one! It's an antique!

Like I did it on purpose.

General: I know how careless You can be.

Careless?! I'm holding onto it.

"I got it. I got it. I got it!"

Why'd you pull it? Why didn't You just have somebody help you?

Help me? He was helping me.

He was helping To hold it back.

That's help? What kind of help is that?

It weighed 2 pounds, brett -- 2 pounds!

Like I did it on purpose. I'm sorry.

What do you want me To tell you?

You're fixing it. You're fixing this whole thing.

What's the name of the guy From the pinball hall of fame?

What's his name, Like tim or something?

Why don't we call him And see if we can find

If there's another piece Floating around somewhere?

Let me see if we can get another One. Maybe he can fedex one.

Maybe we'll have one Of their -- I don't know.

Three days.

Maybe he can send us one Overnight.

You know what? If you have to buy

The whole brand-new pinball Machine, you're doing it.

Hey, get me tim from the Pinball hall of fame's number.

Thank you.

What's wrong? What happened?

Nothing. I'll tell you later. Thank you.

Hey, tim. Hey, this is brett from atm.

Listen to me. I need a huge favor.

I'm in deep water right now.

I dropped the glass on the Scoreboard in a million pieces.

Uh-huh. The truck's here right now.

I need one in chicago In the next couple of days.

Yeah, it's urgent, okay? Okay, do me a favor.

Check with your lead And call me back, please.

Thank you. Oh, he's got a lead maybe.

Two days.

Wayde: the machine, Minus the glass, is on a truck.

We're hopping on a plane To chicago.

The client, jed,

He's flying his friends and Family in for this tank reveal,

So we got to keep our install On schedule.

If brett doesn't come through With the glass

To finish off this tank, There won't be a tank reveal,

Just a huge embarrassment For atm.

Guys, we got to get The steel stand in first.

Right.

And then we'll get everything On top of it,

And we'll start breaking All this down, and let's get in.

That's our game plan.

There's a rat's nest of wires And plugs in this machine.

We have to make sure each and Every one is connected correctly

So every light bulb lights And every bell rings.

[ pinball machine ringing, Whirring ]

Hey, where's the glass?

It would look a little better If it was here.

Brett: Wayde's got to let it go.

I was promised The glass would be here today.

Wayde: we jacked the robotic Tank on top of the carts,

And the carts still Didn't get high enough.

We have a very good chance We can actually crack that tank.

Come on. A little more. [ grunts ]

The vintage pinball aquarium Install is almost complete.

We brought an artist in To do a custom mural

Around the tank To really set it off.

We're taking great care To create

A natural living environment For the fish in the tank.

I don't want to put any fish or Any plants or anything in here

Till we get That back glass.

We're waiting on A piece of antique back glass

To replace the one That brett broke at the shop.

Without it, We can't finish the tank.

Hi. This is brett raymer.

I'm calling to check On a status of a shipment.

It better get here soon.

The client planned to have a big Unveiling here for his friends

Tonight.

Without the original Stingray back glass,

This tank won't be complete.

Do me a favor -- Let me know what's going on.

Okay, thank you.

There's no sense If the glass don't make it here.

Not at all. That looks horrible.

I really need this piece To get this thing done.

You said there was some more Small, little pieces, right?

Yo, the new back glass Has arrived.

Wow, was that close.

Oh, what were you worried about? No big deal. It's perfect.

We still got to finish The rest of the plants in here.

You better make sure That's in one piece.

Hold on. Yeah, it's in one piece.

You sure? Positive.

The other issue Is getting it in.

Let's go. Let's check this thing out.

Don't drop that one, Brett.

Stingray -- Looks good to me.

Let me see. Do me a favor -- Don't touch it.

Don't tug on it.

Let go, let go. You broke it already.

All right. All right. Got it?

All right.

Can you push the top Of the glass in?

There you go. You got it?

I got it. About time.

You got it?

I always got it. Slide it back.

I got it.

[ grunts ]

Stop saying you got it, brett. I got it.

Brett: well, you know, the great Thing about these live plants

Is that, you know, They live off of fish waste.

It'll help them grow.

When the fish poop, The plants grow.

There you go. Actually, that's their food.

Let's put those in. We got these beautiful angels.

I like the shape of the angels For this tank.

They have the look of a pinball Cartoon drawing of a fish.

Our albino angels Right here.

Cool.

There you go.

Dude, This thing came out great.

This thing is unbelievable. They're gonna freak.

Hey, jed, danielle, Ready for you guys.

Let's go see this. Oh, wow.

Wow.

Danielle: [ gasps ]

It's unbelievable.

Oh, man!

Far and away exceeding Expectations, guys.

That is fantastic, man.

Fits right in.

Man, jed -- He loves this thing.

Loves it.

His family walked Downstairs.

I think they were Actually in shock.

It's three separate aquariums. They're all freshwater.

Freshwater aquariums are easier To maintain than saltwater.

This will give jed more time To play his games.

There's driftwood in here,

There's live, freshwater plants, And there's a mud bed.

They're actually gonna grow In the aquarium.

Brett: see, you got Fancy angels up front,

And most people don't know

The angels are actually In the cichlid family.

And one of the reasons We did that,

Because they make Great, caring parents.

So we figured, You guys take care of your son.

You guys are good, Caring parents.

On this side, We have some rainbow fish

That actually come From australia.

We gave you mostly males 'cause the males have the color,

But we put a few females In there

Because the males like to show Off their color for the females.

Wayde: it's like brett when He goes to the tanning salon.

What do you think, cael? Cool.

Cool, huh?

On the other side,

We have some fish that are Called fluorescent zebras.

Fluorescent zebras glow like The lights on a pinball machine.

It's the icing On the cake.

The big question is, Does it work?

Wayde: let's try it out. Give it a roll.

Let's go.

[ pinball machine ringing, Whirring ]

Oh, yeah! Bring it!

Those bells are ringing. This is fantastic.

The bells are ringing. The fish are swimming. The bumpers are going.

[ ringing, whirring continues ]

You're a man of your word, Brett.

When I tell somebody it's gonna Work, it's gonna work.

Jed's friends and family Are all arriving to see the tank

For the first time, And they're gonna love it.

Look at this, huh?

Woman: oh, that is cool.

That's cool.

Hey, looks nice.

That is so neat.

Wayde: so, What do you guys think?

Beautiful. Awesome.

Yeah, there you go.

Brett: I'll tell you, This thing came out so great,

I think we need To mass-produce these.

Our day is never over at atm,

And before we pat ourselves On the back for a job well done,

We're off to boston To install three massive tanks

For lou At highres biosolutions.

The only way to get these tanks Into the lobby

Is, I have to flip them On the sides.

We have a very good chance We can actually crack that.

We can ruin the tank.

We got 1 inch clearance.

We have to go exactly Dead center of that door

To get this in.

Okay, 1, 2, 3.

Heave.

Everybody hold on to the tank.

Brett: These tanks are so heavy

That they're leaving skid marks On lou's carpet.

Wayde: we made our hexagon tank With a hole in the center,

Kind of like a doughnut.

This way, we can lower our tank Around the pedestal,

And our coral inserts Will hide it.

The hard part is getting it Up and over the pedestal.

All right, guys, All hands on the tank.

Redneck, you start jacking That one with brandon.

I want you to tell me As soon as that gets The clearance for this.

Right now, we jacked the tank up On the carts,

And the carts still Didn't get high enough.

We need another inch.

You got one more in or no?

Redneck: I'm maxed.

Redneck's maxed.

The only way to get this tank Up and over the pedestal

Is to manhandle it.

1, 2, 3.

Come on, a little more.

Hold on. Yeah, roll it. There's the bulkheads.

Just to get To the other side.

Talk to me.

Hold the tank, guys. We don't Want the cart to give out.

Hold the tank. Stay on them cots.

Nice and slow. Nice job.

Good job, guys, good job. Keep going, keep going.

I'll tell you when to stop. Keep going. Bring it down.

Stop, stop. Right there -- Stop. Perfect.

We finally Get one tank into place.

Two more to go.

Hold on. Take your fingers out.

You got bulkheads On there?

Get your fingers out. No.

Let's slide it on, match it up With the steel stand.

The placement of these tanks Is critical.

If they're not placed In the exact right spots,

The robotic fish feeder Won't work.

A little more.

Good. Stop. I'm good there.

All right, here we go. Let's do it.

Brett: The fish we're loading in, They all have natural defenses

Against the predators In our tanks.

Wayde: sweetlips.

Sweetlips.

Sweetlips -- They avoid being eaten

By mimicking Another poisonous species.

Okay, let's do The magnificent foxface.

There she goes.

Foxface -- they have a venomous Spine, which ain't so tasty.

So the other fish, They won't mess with them.

Brett. What?

This is a pretty big zebra eel, So be careful, okay?

Here you go. Here we go.

Watch her find her new home. That's all the fish.

That's the last eel. Let's get lou in here.

Let's do it. Let's do it.

Wait till you see this.

This is the new Microstar system.

Wow!

Here it is. Look at this!

Brett: It's a breakaway bottle.

Like they use in the movies? We'll play a joke on them.

Why do you got to Always yell at me?

Because it's your fault.

[bleep] Yell at me. [ glass shatters ]

Wait till you see this.

This is the new Microstar system.

Wow! I can't believe it. Here it is.

Wow, guys, you did a great job. I can't believe it.

Come on in, everybody. Take A look. What do you guys think?

[ cheers and applause ]

Look!

And you said you wanted this Thing to be almost identical.

Yeah. Looks just like A microstar -- amazing.

That's what we tried to do.

We tried to literally replicate What you had.

I mean, we put the stackers In there.

Wayde: We made you a stingray tank, A shark tank, and an eel tank.

Woman: wow!

The eels that we have, There's a couple of Tessellata eels in there.

We also have some zebra eels.

If you look real close, We got these custom holes

That go through it for All the eels to swim through.

They're like little caves For them to swim in.

You see them all? Oh, yeah, look at that.

That one's sneaky. Look at him swimming.

Wow, he's big.

Got a variety Of different species of sharks.

Wow!

We have, you know, The marble cat shark.

We have the Japanese leopard shark.

So, over here In the round tank, lou,

We have a regular blue dot Stingray, diamond blue dot.

See how it's shaped Like a diamond?

Yeah, that's nice.

We felt that if we just did the Stingray tank, they hide a lot.

Yeah, I like the other rays Around the bottom,

And some fish are above.

It looks fantastic.

Customers that have these same Products are gonna come in here,

And they're not gonna believe What they see.

Guys, again, what A fantastic job you've done.

I can't thank you enough.

Did we build the world's Largest fish feeder?

This is the moment of truth, So, vlad, I think it's time.

Let's see if this thing Really works.

Oh, yeah!

[ cheers and applause ]

There they go. There's goes everybody.

Look at that.

Yeah.

Yeah!

[ cheers and applause ]

So, lou will never have to worry

About forgetting To feed the fish ever again.

Guys, we've confirmed we've made The world's largest fish feeder.

We're so glad That you guys like it.

Just let me say thank you Very much.

Thank you.

You guys are awesome. Everybody, thank you.

[ cheers and applause ]

Look at the size of this guy.

11 different eels in here.

[ robotic voice ] I really think These came out great.

Stay away from the robots, Brett.

Brett: [ normal voice ] This week,

We had two challenging Aquarium builds,

And both had Three separate tanks.

The three pinball tanks in total Hold 125 gallons of water,

Weigh over 1,250 pounds,

And took countless years Off my life

Worrying if the glass Was gonna arrive on time.

Wayde: each of the three Geometrically-shaped robot tanks

Were stocked With predators of the sea --

Sharks, stingrays, and eels.

It's 2,400 gallons of water, Weighing a whopping 12 tons --

All that, and it has An automated feeder.

You know, I felt awful about Breaking the pinball glass,

So I bought something to make up For it in a creative way.

What's that?

I got you one of these. It's a breakaway bottle.

Like they use In the movies?

I figured you could Smash me over the head

Since, you know, you'll get A little stress relief.

Why don't we do it in the Hallway in front of the window

And everyone thinks We're brawling or something?

We'll play a joke on them. Fine.

Let's do it. Come on. Right now.

I don't understand. You're always yelling At me for nothing.

If you did your job right, I wouldn't have to do it.

Why do you got to Always yell me?

Because it's your fault. [bleep] Yell at me.

What? God, what is going on?

What is going on?!

What happened?!

Got ya!

[ laughter ]

What?!

It's fake!

Are you serious?!

[ laughter ]

Wayde and I don't always see Eye to eye, but you know what?

We make a pretty good team.

Yeah, we built Two awesome tanks.

I couldn't have done it Without you, buddy.

You know what? You probably could've.

[ both laugh ]
