MUMBAI: US infotainment broadcaster Nat Geo Wild executive VP, GM Geoff Daniels has announced that the network is renewing its series ?Fish Tank Kings? for a second season.

?Fish Tank Kings?, produced by Sharp Entertainment, follows the Florida-based aquarium specialists at Living Color as they use their skills, creativity and teamwork to pull off the most extreme fish aquariums imaginable. The drama and pressure of the building process is nowhere near as serene as the final product. The Living Color team is in high demand, and their massive, cutting-edge underwater habitats have become the ultimate status symbol. The new season is expected to premiere in 2013.

Daniels said, "Last season, we saw the Fish Tank Kings create these elaborate aquariums - from upgrading a tank three to four times its size, making it the largest residential tank of its kind in southern Florida, to a unique aquarium built right behind the home plate backstop of a baseball field. They?re pushing the envelope and raising the bar in extreme aquarium building. What makes this series so great is that our viewers will get to see what it takes to create the coolest aquariums in the world."

?Fish Tank Kings? will boast a cast of thousands of fish and hundreds of corals, displayed in custom-built tanks.

Sharp Entertainment executive producer Matt Sharp said,"We?re thrilled to be moving forward on a second season of Fish Tank Kings with our Partners at Nat Geo Wild. This season will deliver even more exotic fish, high drama and extreme builds, as our experts at Living Color Aquariums take on some of the most extreme fish tank builds ever attempted."

Each episode follows the dedicated Living Color team as they work to create some of the most impressive fish tanks ever developed. Mat Roy is the president and is responsible for overseeing all projects and running operations at Living Color. His favorite part of the process is seeing the look on clients? faces as they view their aquarium for the first time. Francis Yupangco, lifelong fish geek, is the head marine biologist, overseeing the construction and marine life in the custom tanks.

Ben Alia is the senior project manager, whose expertise allows the team to fabricate the most sophisticated of designs. Jose Blanco is production and safety manager, planning and creating a happy home for each fish. John Manning is life support system designer, responsible for creating intricate systems in small spaces that will ultimately keep the exotic creatures inside the tank healthy.
