Fish Tank Kings, the Nat Geo Wild television show that follows the aquarium installs of Living Color Aquariums, is gearing up for season two and they have officially begun the casting process. The production company is currently looking for businesses and individuals who want to purchase an aquarium system and have the entire build shown on television in the process. Because Living Color is based out of Florida, they are restricting their casting call to just that region, at least for now. So if you’re a fish store looking for a huge upgrade on the display tank, a charitable organization looking for creative ways to interact with the community, or a company wanting to bring a fish tank into the office space, be sure to check out the press release and contact information below.
