Animal Planet's 'Tanked' Transforms Vehicle With 800-Gallon Aquarium

LAS VEGAS (Nov. 5, 2013) – Dive into an underwater adventure with the 2014 SpongeBob Highlander: Tanked Edition, revealed for the first time at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas Nov. 5-7.
About 115 individual fish will swim in the 800-gallon custom tank designed by Animal Planet's 'Tanked' co-stars Wayde King and Brett Raymer in partnership with Toyota and Nickelodeon's 'SpongeBob SquarePants.' King and Raymer co-own Acrylic Tank Manufacturingand build more than 200 projects a year for top celebrities, luxury hotels, casinos, Fortune 500 businesses and private homes.

The aquarium tank begins behind the front two seats of the all-new 2014 Highlander SÚV and stretches the length of the vehicle. More than 32 species populate the saltwater setting, including starfish (like the SpongeBob character, Patrick), squirrelfish, Fiji foxface, flame angel, clownfish and pilot fish. A custom-built, complex filtration system includes an overflow system, sterilizer, ÚV filter, temperature regulator and additional elements. The fish arrived from Los Angeles and had two days to acclimate to the tank before the watery showcase.

'The 'Tanked' designers and Nickelodeon combined the mystery of the ocean and the fun of SpongeBob into a Highlander everyone will be talking about at SEMA.'
