In Tanked season 5 episode 2, titled "Just What the Doctor Ordered," viewers are taken on a journey to follow a specific request by Dr. Pol, a veterinarian from Michigan, who wants to have a giant-sized tank installed in his office to create a peaceful environment for his patients. Dr. Pol is a well-known and respected veterinarian who provides care for all kinds of animals, from cows and horses to domestic pets.

The episode begins with Dr. Pol visiting the Acrylic Tank Manufacturing (ATM) headquarters in Las Vegas, looking to create a unique and tranquil environment for his patients. Dr. Pol wants to create an aquarium that provides a calming effect on his animal patients, helping them to stay still during their checkup.

Brett and Wayde, the two co-owners of ATM, start to plan the project and find out that Dr. Pol's office space was too small to accommodate the giant aquarium he wanted. Therefore, they had to find a way to make the aquarium fit within the office. Firstly, Brett and Wayde had to remove furniture and other decorations from his office, creating enough space for the installation of the huge aquarium.

The tank has a capacity to hold 2000 gallons of water and is 12ft long, 6ft deep, and 4ft wide. The aquariums walls are curved and made from acrylic material, which helps the animals stay calm because they can't see a reflection, which in turn helps the vet in his work.

The main challenge in this episode is the location. Dr. Pol's office is in Michigan, over two thousand miles from ATM's headquarters. This makes shipping the huge and heavy tank a monumental task that requires extra care in handling and shipping to prevent it from breaking.

To help in the transportation and installation of the tank, ATM relied on the expertise of professionals from Michigan. The team of specialists helped to transport the aquarium and install it in just one day.

The installation of the tank is a remarkable moment, showing the dedication and expertise of the ATM team, and how they go out of their way to cater to their customer's unique requests. Shipping an aquarium this large from Las Vegas to Michigan is not an easy task, but the team at ATM managed to get the job done, and Dr. Pol and his patients are forever grateful.

As soon as the tank is set up, Dr. Pol and his staff are impressed with the new addition to their office. The tank features realistic aquatic plants, a beautiful array of fish and even a viewing panel, which allows animals and people to observe the aquatic life within.

The final element of the project is the creation of a unique filtration system required to maintain the aquarium. ATM created a custom Filtration system that caters towards Dr. Pol's specific requirements, ensuring the animals are in a clean environment all the time.

Overall, "Just What the Doctor Ordered" is an exciting episode of Tanked that showcases the fantastic work of the ATM team's creativity and expertise in designing and constructing impressive aquariums. It also highlights the importance of providing unique and calming environments to animals during checkups, making the tank an essential tool in Dr. Pol's veterinarian practice.
