    Sound like it will be a very similar show. Did you read the descriptions of the episodes? The first one is the back stop at a MLB stadium. Could you imagine a foul ball hitting that?

    The backstop tank was described in Advanced Aquarist:
    Marlins Stadium Aquariums: Design and Installation — Advanced Aquarist | Aquarist Magazine and Blog

    The acrylic is 1.5" thick with an air-gapped Lexan shield. No baseball or bat is ever going to contact the tank, and even if it did, a bullet wouldn't break it (well, maybe a .50 cal :p). The equipment is impressive. The greater concern is people in the front row scaring the fish.

    Even if it isn't going to contact the tank its still going to scare the crap out of the fish. And baseball games in general are loud and will probably stress out the fish.

    Plus I would imagine there would be no rock or hiding places. Just an empty tank.
