In addition to a pro athlete, SCV residents spotted TV stars Wayde King and Brett Raymer of Animal Planet’s “Tanked,” a show that features the design and manufacturing of aquarium tanks. Wayde King’s love of fish began at an early age. Born and raised in Long Island, New York, Wayde was cleaning aquariums by age 14.  Remaining in the industry his entire life, Wayde eventually grew to own a tank business with Brett and find his way to the show.  Brett Raymer is the COO of Acrylic Tank Manufacturing (ATM), and there isn’t a tank big enough to hold his larger-than-life ideas and personality.  Originally from Brooklyn, New York, Brett started the company with Wayde.  Today, Wayde and Brett design and manufacture some of the largest and most extravagant acrylic tanks in the world.
