I would like to know the survival rate of the livestock they jam into the tanks. Especially since they seem to stock them the day they build them. I will not watch again.

It's like OCC for fish tanks. If you like choppers and knew the technical pieces behind them, the show would be a joke with what they say. Same thing with tanked, to most people they build pretty aquariums, but to people who know tanks, we say "WTF? synthetic rock?","that's too many tang's","Cartridge filter on a 500gallon?","lol, that lion is going to eat all those small fish", etc :P

Of course some of the things they did I don't agree with, but for entertainment value it was ok. Some of the tank designs were cool.

I actually got to sit and chat with Brett at MACNA as well as the supplier they buy all their fish from and they go through a lot to pre-prepare the livestock and the water for the show. They said they got a lot of haters from the aquarium side of things, so much so that they were asking the producers to show more of what the background preparation was during the episode so that people could see what was involved.
They not only build tanks but do tank maintenance so I doubt that letting everything die afterwards would be in their best interests.
