    I believe you mean ATM not ATS. This is were the problem lies people like to talk bad about the show but, they do not even watch it.

    +1, I 100% agree.

    Did anyone watch Mr. SaltwaterTank's interview with Brett Raymer. He too stated it was a show designed to entertain people and hopefully get more into the hobby not to educate them on how to properly run a tank. He also stated that Animal Planet would come and film for 4-5 days at time and then go back to the studios and do their editing. He didn't get to see the final product until we did.

    On top of that, these guys create aquariums for many world famous aquariums around the world. One I can name off the top of my hat is the Deep Water tank at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Monterey Bay, CA. Do you honestly think if they were as horrible as you make them out to be, that any aquarium or zoo would have them help them out. NO!! they would wouldn't so give them a break. Enjoy the TV show, and take it as that a TV show.

    If any thread should be closed it should be this one. What is the point of this thread?

    Are we really going to drag antics from one thread to another now cause the orphek arguement got shut down? Let it go.

    Back on topic:

    I think the show has improved some at times. They are starting to slowly show some of the filtration and background of the tanks. Surely its only briefly but I think it is a step forward.

    I personally found the skateboard tank a little mind numbing in relation to the stress it is going to put on fish. I would think for the care of the livestock as well as the fact that the acrylic will scratch and before long become all but worthless. Surely it is blocked off and for display (not skating now). If not I am sure that people such as PETA and other such friendly organizations will quickly become involved.

    I also think all the people that hate the show are feeding thier own fire by making post after post and thread after thread about the show. Its only helping ratings by having more people turn on the show to see what all the drama is about. Then again the people that hate the show are likewise feeding the ratings by tuning in week after week to give them something to fight about on the forums. Welcome yourself to season 2.

    A thread questioning a company's tactics and credability, in turn educating people and helping them make an informed descion when choosing to purchase led lighting, got closed with the reasoning that we should be helping people with fish and coral problems instead. Yet here we have 16 pages of useless whining about a tv show that is never going pay attention to this forum. This thread isn't offering anything helpful to the members here. Excuse me if I am a bit confused on why it is still open.

    are you saying that you know or heard that they blocked off the skateboard ramp? What I got from the show is that they wanted this tank as a working ramp thus all the footage on making sure it didn't scratch.

    Insane I'm not even going to fuel your banter. As long as you enjoy your opinions on all your topics, have fun.

    Say: No, I'm not saying either way. I am saying I can only hope they still dont have it in operation (as a skate ramp that is).
