Season 2 episodes (16)

1 The Amazing Aqua-Van
6/1/13
The team must transform a Volkswagen Minibus into a fish tank for a local car dealer. Engineering a tank that will weigh 4,000 pounds when filled with saltwater and fish is the hardest task they have attempted so far. Meanwhile, fish geek Francis is looking for an assistant. Soon, he puts potential candidate Heather to the test by giving her a quiz on fish species, having her go on a deep-sea dive and having her perform a risky surgical procedure on a venomous fish. Will she make it?
2 Big Bowl of Gumbo Limbo
6/8/13
The team has been commissioned to revive a showcase aquarium. They must create a seascape that mirrors a sea turtle's natural habitat. However, the tank's marine life, including sharks and stingrays cannot be removed from the premises, so someone will have to swim with the carnivores. Then one tough client wants three tanks in one, completed in a fraction of the time the crew allots for such complex projects. When Heather takes over, the team fears they may lose the job. Will she succeed?
3 Desperate Housetanks
6/15/13
Ben must install a pair of outsized fish tanks around a fireplace at a private residence in Orlando. This proves to be challenging for Ben, and if he can't pull it off it will jeopardize the company's reputation and make it impossible for the family to move into their home. Meanwhile, Mat goes to Chicago to work on a terrarium for an amphibian known as the Panamanian Golden Frog—a rare animal on the brink of extinction. If the tank isn't perfect, the survival of the species could be at risk.
4 Love's A Beach
6/22/13
Francis decides to bring his lady friend to work and make her a tank full of live coral. Meanwhile, a huge client has commissioned the team with an incredible project at Grand Cayman. The tension mounts for Francis when Mat forbids him to spend his professional time to work on the tank for Lauren and sends him to Grand Cayman to oversee the project. Things only get harder when the team misses items whose absence will prevent them from completing the biggest project ever. Will they make it?
5 Turning a New Reef
6/29/13
Jose goes to meet with a client who wants a temporary aquarium built and installed in only two weeks. He is confronted with a difficult decision: should he give in to their requests, which might cost him his job, or install the temporary tank for the famous client who might bring his team favorable publicity? Meanwhile, Ben and Francis visit Orlando, Fla., to perform a total reef makeover. If anything goes wrong with this tight deadline, this house of cards is going to come tumbling down.
6 Little Mermaids
7/6/13
Orthodontist Dr. Kawa has a simple request for the new addition to his waiting room aquarium: something “that no one has ever seen before.” Jose and the guys have an idea, and it involves a “mermaid's purse.” Using shark eggs that are rarely seen in fish tanks, Jose performs a surgical procedure of his own to create something truly unique. Then, the team is hired by one of the largest pet fish suppliers in South Florida to build a tank perfect for underwater gardening, or “aquascaping.”
7 There's A Tree In My Tank!
7/13/13
The FTKs are hired to create something completely unique: an African lake re-created in a tank swarming with freshwater cichlids and topped off with an African sausage tree. Jose has never seen a tree like this and worries that his replica might bring the entire project crashing to the ground. Meanwhile, setbacks plague a construction project to build a brand new, state-of the-art quarantine facility that will allow the Kings to provide a variety of fish to their clients.
8 14 Tanks and a Shipwreck
7/20/13
The South Florida Science Museum enlists the help of the Fish Tank Kings to redesign 14 massive tanks! In addition to the sheer size of the job, the team will also be challenged to build something they've never built before: a canal exhibit, complete with invasive species such as pacu and snakehead. The pressure is on — the team at Living Color has just two months to finish the biggest, most intensive and most impressive job they've ever done.
9 Shark Tank
4/28/14
Can the Fish Tank Kings transform office space into South Florida's largest privately owned fish tank? A zoo hires Francis to design and build a Pacific octopus exhibit - and to dive into frigid waters off Vancouver to retrieve the star attraction.
10 Secret Crystal Cave Fish Palace
5/5/14
With a reputation for pushing the envelope, Living Color is tasked with building a tank unlike any of their previous projects. The job will require endless amounts of trial and error and may ultimately harm their reputation if they can't deliver.
11 The Fish Whisperer
5/14/14
The Fish Tank Kings are hired to build koi fish pond for renowned dog trainer Cesar Millan on his new property in the middle of the California desert with no viable water source within miles.
12 Empire Tank Building
5/21/14
The Fish Tank Kings build a cylindrical aquarium that seamlessly conceals a structual column for a luxury hotel. The size and shape is a recipe for technical disaster and the only way to achieve the intended effect is to assemble it on-site.
13 Jellyfish Jackpot
6/4/14
The team is hired to build a highly specialized, 4,000-pound aquarium for the high roller's room at the Atlantis Casino. It is a highly complex job, but if they succeed in impressing, it could be the first in a long line of aquariums for Atlantis.
14 Go Fish!
6/11/14
Living Color hopes to generate student interest in biology by donating a touch tank to Galaxy Elementary which will allow students to interact with the specimens. When the tank crumbles as they roll it onto the truck, it puts the project in jeopardy.
15 Pufferfish Palace
6/18/14
A massive saltwater tank renovation requires the team to do the work on-site under the watchful eyes of overprotective owners. Living Color's quarantine facility can house the fish until the tank is ready, but if a fish is harmed, the job is over.
16 Sweetest Tank on Earth
6/18/14
There's one client that can ask for an aquarium that is both interactive and looks delicious, and that's Hershey. The team has never been tasked with such a high profile project and they need to work to the final second to deliver.
