In the season three premiere of Tanked, titled "We're Gonna Need a Bigger Tank," viewers are introduced to Wayde and Brett, owners of Acrylic Tank Manufacturing (ATM), a company that specializes in creating one-of-a-kind fish tanks. The episode follows the duo as they take on their biggest challenge yet: building a custom, 20,000-gallon shark tank for a high-end hotel in Las Vegas.

The episode opens with Wayde and Brett meeting with the hotel's owners to discuss their vision for the tank. The clients want a tank that will be the centerpiece of their new high-end restaurant and bar, with an impressive array of sharks and other marine life. Wayde and Brett are excited about the project, but know that they have their work cut out for them.

The next step is to begin building the tank itself. The team starts by constructing a wooden framework that will serve as the base for the tank. Once the framework is complete, they use hydraulic jacks to lift the massive tank into place. With the tank in position, the team begins the painstaking work of installing all of the necessary plumbing, pumps, and filtration systems.

Next, it's time to add the finishing touches to the tank. Wayde and Brett set out to find the perfect rocks, corals, and other decorations to create a realistic underwater environment for the sharks and other marine life that will soon call the tank home. They work closely with their team of designers and fabricators to create custom pieces, like a giant faux shipwreck and a realistic coral reef.

Finally, it's time to add the main attraction: the sharks themselves. Wayde and Brett work with a team of marine biologists to carefully select and introduce a variety of shark species to the tank. They also add other marine life, like stingrays and eels, to create a dynamic and visually stunning display.

Throughout the episode, viewers get a behind-the-scenes look at the challenges and triumphs of building such a massive and complex tank. From working with the hotel's owners to selecting the right species of sharks and other marine life, Wayde and Brett tackle every obstacle with enthusiasm and skill.

In the end, the final product is nothing short of spectacular. The 20,000-gallon tank is a stunning centerpiece of the hotel's restaurant and bar, drawing in crowds and wowing visitors from around the world. Thanks to Wayde and Brett's expertise and creativity, the project was a huge success and a testament to the power of imagination and ingenuity.
