Getting a shark tank has never been easier in South Florida. If you can afford it.

The aquarium company featured on Animal Planet’s hit show “Tanked” – designers of extravagant, jaw-dropping, million-dollar tanks – has opened a satellite office at 3333 W. Commercial Blvd. in Fort Lauderdale.

Acrylic Tank Manufacturing, based in Las Vegas, says the opening of the Fort Lauderdale sales office will help better serve its growing customer base in Florida and the southeast coast.

“We want to be where the action is, where the money is at,” said Brett Raymer, ATM’s chief operating officer. “South Florida has a lot of money and interest in aquariums.”

ATM has been building outlandish aquariums for almost two decades, but business has skyrocketed in recent years thanks to the TV exposure and more people wanting unheard-of aquariums in their homes and businesses, Raymer said. Projects range from $5,000 to millions of dollars, he said.

“People have let their own creativity run wild,” Raymer said. “There’s no limit on what we can do. The only thing we are limited by is people’s budget.”

Fort Lauderdale is ATM’s first office outside Las Vegas. Its roster roster of Sunshine State clients includes a family who wanted a tank filled with sharks and alligators, a hotel in St. Pete Beach with an aquarium big enough to fit 10 grown men and a Dunkin’ Donuts restaurant owner who wanted a doughnut-shaped aquarium being dunked into a white cup of steaming coffee.

Steve Rubiano, owner of the Riviera Beach Dunkin’ Donuts with the doughnut aquarium, spent “not a lot of dough, but a lot of donuts” on a fixture that’s become a tourist attraction, he said.

“People come in just for that, adults and kids, and take pictures,” Rubiano said. “But once they’re here they get hungry and buy something.”

Keith David, director of sales and operations for ATM in Florida, joined the company in September and has been traveling the state networking and signing deals.

He’s gotten a bunch of “off-the-wall” requests so far: people wanting aquariums in their ceilings, on the floor.

“Elaborate desires,” he said.
