Ep 5. Spin the Bottles

In Tanked season 4 episode 5, titled "Spin the Bottles," hosts Wayde King and Brett Raymer take on a unique challenge as they attempt to combine two different aquariums in one. The episode features a couple who are passionate about wine, and they want a custom-made aquarium that combines their love of wine with their love for aquatic life. They challenge the team to create an aquarium that looks like a wine bottle, with fish swimming around a miniature vineyard in the middle.

The episode starts with Wayde and Brett doing research on how to create an aquarium that looks like a wine bottle. They visit the production facility where the wine bottles are made, and they take detailed measurements to make sure the aquarium's design is accurate. They also decide to incorporate a vineyard at the bottom of the aquarium, complete with vines, grapes, and a custom-made gate.

The team begins building the aquarium, using a lot of custom-made components. They use specialized glass and acrylic to create the wine bottle shape, as well as a custom-made gate for the vineyard. Wayde and Brett also install a specialized lighting system to give the aquarium a warm, wine-like glow.

As the aquarium takes shape, the team encounters various challenges. They struggle to find the right water pump to create the right flow for the fish. They also encounter issues with the vines and grapes at the bottom of the aquarium, realizing that real grapes are too heavy and will damage the bottom of the tank. They come up with a solution by creating lightweight, artificial grapes that still look authentic.

Once the aquarium is complete, the couple is thrilled with the result. The aquarium looks exactly like a wine bottle, with fish swimming gracefully through the vines. Wayde and Brett also added some surprise elements to the design, including a small door that the couple can open to let in fresh air and a hidden compartment that can be used to store wine bottles.

In addition to the wine bottle aquarium, the episode also features a few other unique projects. Wayde and Brett create a mini-aquarium for a man who wants to propose to his girlfriend underwater. They install a custom-made sign at the bottom of the aquarium that says "will you marry me?" and the man successfully proposes to his girlfriend in the tank.

The episode also features a custom-made ATM aquarium for a casino in Las Vegas. The tank is designed to look like an ATM machine, complete with a keypad and screen. The fish swim around the screen, giving the impression that they are inside the ATM itself.

Overall, Tanked season 4 episode 5 is an entertaining and creative episode that showcases the team's skill and creativity. The wine bottle aquarium is a particularly impressive project, and the couple's reaction to the finished product is heartwarming. Whether you're a fan of aquariums or just looking for an entertaining show to watch, "Spin the Bottles" is a must-see episode.
