Ep 5. Good Karma

In season 1 episode 5 of Tanked, titled "Good Karma," Wayde and Brett take on a unique challenge when they team up with the Make-A-Wish Foundation to grant a wish for a young boy named Phillip. Phillip is an avid fish lover who has been battling a life-threatening illness, and his one wish is to have a custom fish tank built for him.

With the help of Make-A-Wish, Wayde and Brett meet with Phillip and his family to discuss what he wants in his fish tank. Phillip has a long list of requests, including a pirate ship, hidden treasure, and lots of colorful fish.

Wayde and Brett get to work on designing and building Phillip's dream tank. They start by creating a custom pirate ship out of fiberglass and painting it to look weathered and worn. They also add a cannon, a crow's nest, and a treasure chest to complete the pirate theme.

Next, Wayde and Brett create a custom filtration system to keep the water in the tank clean and healthy for the fish. They install a protein skimmer, a biological filter, and a UV sterilizer. They also add a heating system to keep the water at the right temperature for the fish.

With the filtration system in place, Wayde and Brett start adding the finishing touches to the tank. They add live rocks and corals to create a natural-looking environment for the fish. They also add colorful fish that Phillip will love, including clownfish, angelfish, and tangs.

Once the tank is complete, Wayde and Brett reveal it to Phillip and his family. They can hardly contain their excitement as they see the tank for the first time. Phillip is thrilled with his new fish tank, and he spends hours watching the fish and playing with the pirate ship.

As a final surprise, Wayde and Brett bring in some special guests to join Phillip in enjoying his new fish tank. The Make-A-Wish Foundation sets up a meet-and-greet with several Miami Dolphin players, including Dan Marino and Jason Taylor. Phillip is over the moon to meet his favorite football players and share his new fish tank with them.

Overall, Tanked season 1 episode 5 is a heartwarming episode that showcases the talented work of Wayde and Brett as they help grant a wish for a deserving young boy. The episode highlights the importance of charity work and giving back to those in need.
