Ep 2. Old School vs. New School

In season 2 episode 2 of Tanked, titled "Old School vs. New School," the Acrylic Tank Manufacturing (ATM) team faces its biggest challenge yet: designing and building not one, but two tanks in just three weeks.

The first tank is a traditional aquarium for a client who wants a classic design with a modern twist. The team works hard to create a beautiful and functional tank that will exceed the client's expectations. They install an intricate filtration system and add custom rockwork to create a natural-looking environment for the fish.

The second tank is for a new age client who wants something completely unique and over-the-top. The team has to get creative to design a tank that will satisfy the client's outlandish demands. They incorporate LED lights, neon signs, and a custom-built coffee table in the design, making the tank the center of attention in the client's living room.

As the team work on both tanks, tensions rise between the old school and new school crew members. Wayde and Brett, the owners of ATM, are considered old school because of their decades of experience in the industry. The young designers, Irwin and Joe, are seen as new school because of their innovative and edgier design styles. The conflict between the two groups comes to a head when they clash over the design of the second tank.

Despite the tension, the team manages to complete both tanks on time and within budget. The traditional tank impresses the client with its elegance and functionality, while the new age tank blows the client away with its creativity and originality. In the end, the team comes together to celebrate their success and realize that the old school and new school methods can complement each other to create something truly amazing.

Overall, season 2 episode 2 of Tanked is a thrilling and entertaining episode that showcases the creativity and talent of the ATM team. From traditional to avant-garde designs, the team proves that they can take on any challenge and come out on top.
