Ep 11. Betty White's Got an App for That

In Tanked season 5 episode 11, titled "Betty White's Got an App for That", viewers are treated to the antics of the loveable team of aquarium builders at Acrylic Tank Manufacturing (ATM). This episode sees Brett and Wayde take on a new challenge as they build a custom aquarium for America's sweetheart, Betty White. The catch? This tank is meant to be a showcase for a new app that Betty has been working on.

As always, the episode begins with a meeting between the brothers and their client. Betty White, who is known for her love of animals, wants to create an aquarium that will be both beautiful and educational. To achieve this, she has created an app that will be able to scan the different fish in the tank and provide information about each species. Brett and Wayde are impressed with the concept and make it their mission to create a tank that will do justice to both Betty White's app and her love of animals.

The aquarium that Brett and Wayde plan to build is a massive, 6,000-gallon tank that will be located in the entrance of the Betty White Wildlife Preserve. They start by creating a custom base for the tank, which will have a waterfall feature that flows into the aquarium. The tank itself will be divided into several different sections, with each section holding a different group of fish.

To populate the tank, Brett and Wayde visit a local fish farm where they handpick some of the most vibrant and unique fish species they can find. These include everything from angelfish to neon tetras to arowana. With all the fish selected and the aquarium's layout planned, the team gets to work building the tank and its supporting equipment.

One of the most challenging aspects of the build is creating a system that will allow Betty White's app to scan the fish in the tank. To accomplish this, Brett and Wayde work closely with Betty's tech team to install an array of cameras that will be able to capture images of each fish as they swim by. The images will then be processed by Betty's app to provide information about each species.

As the tank comes together, the team encounters several setbacks that threaten to derail the project. At one point, a problem with the aquarium's filtration system causes a massive leak that floods the entire build area. Brett and Wayde are forced to drain the tank and start over, which sets them back several days. However, they never lose their enthusiasm for the project, and their determination eventually pays off as the tank takes shape.

The final result is a stunning aquarium that features a diverse range of fish species and a beautiful waterfall feature. Betty White is thrilled with the finished product and is excited to debut her new app with the aquarium as its centerpiece. The tank is a testament to Brett and Wayde's skill and dedication, as well as the power of technology to bring people and animals together.

Overall, Tanked season 5 episode 11 is a must-watch for anyone who loves aquariums, animal conservation, or technology. The episode showcases the incredible work of the ATM team and the innovative ideas of their clients. Whether you're a fan of Betty White or just love seeing massive aquariums being built from scratch, this episode is sure to entertain and inspire.
