Summary

This episode originally aired in November 2021 and is a very fun departure from my usual interviews. One of the strangest things about our life in Hollywood (and there are many, many strange things) is our enormous fish tank. Every time I share a little bit about our fish tank on social media, I get flooded with questions that I mostly can't answer. So I finally recorded a conversation with someone who could! Nic Tiemens is the co-founder of Infinity Aquariums and not only does he take care of the Tremaine Tank for us every week, he has installed and maintained tanks for some of the biggest celebrities and most beautiful homes in the world. In this episode, Nic shares how he stumbled into this line of work, why you shouldn't ever get a fish tank on a whim, and the insane new project he's been working on for two years in Bel Air. My husband Jeff also joins us for part of the conversation, because he's the real reason we have a 1,500 gallon fish tank in our dining room.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Ten Things to Tell You podcast. I'm Laura Tremain. I always have at least
0:16.8	ten things to tell you and you have ten things to tell. This is a show where we believe that sharing yourself will make you less lonely.
0:28.4	Of all the things that are unusual about my life and believe me I am aware that there are so many things
0:38.8	that are unusual about our life in Los Angeles in Hollywood, but one of the biggest has got to be the massive
0:48.0	fish tank in our house. We have had an extra large fish tank, like a Vegas style fish tank, in our house for
1:00.0	almost a decade because of my husband Jeff's deep and abiding love of animals, specifically fish,
1:09.6	and every single time that I share the Tremaine Tank online, like on
1:15.0	Instagram stories or whatever, I always get a million questions about the Tank,
1:20.5	about Nick Teemans, who takes care of our tank, and has made many appearances

1:52.3	tank at our new house. This is our second tank. We moved
1:56.2	houses here in Los Angeles about six months ago. We upgraded all of our equipment.
2:00.8	We got some new fish. I'm going to let him talk all about that. Now the
