10 homes so lavish they have actual shark tanks inside them

When former NBA player Gilbert Arenas sold his Virginia mansion in 2014, the sharks in his tank weren’t part of the deal … possibly because they cost $6,500 a month to maintain?

This seven-bedroom Marina Del Rey, California home is kind of the epitome of where we’d expect to find a 10,000-gallon residential shark tank; it also has a glass-bottom pool on the roof and a see-through piano.

Tracy Morgan’s shark tank

Reveal: Tracy Morgan's Shark Tank | Tanked

In a 2012 episode of Animal Planet’s Tanked, Tracy Morgan requested a giant, Jaws-themed shark tank. Is it any wonder that Tracy Jordan’s mantra on 30 Rock was, “Live every week like it’s shark week”?

I would not like someone to invite me to step into their office if there were sharks swimming around in there. It just seems menacing.

Located in Saudi Arabia, Issham Aquatics makes some incredible aquariums. The company claims the royal palace shark encounter it built for a private client is the largest residential aquarium. Considering it’s over 420,000 gallons, we believe it.

Is there a Walmart Plus free trial? Get a month of free delivery
A Walmart sign on the outside of a store.

For regular Walmart shoppers, signing up for Walmart Plus is a no-brainer. It's basically Walmart's version of Amazon Prime, with subscribers unlocking free shipping on most orders, early access to discounts and new product drops (like Nintendo Switch 2 restocks), the best grocery delivery, and more. If you're always taking advantage of Walmart's bargains for the best smart home devices or the best tech products in general, but you're still not sure if you'll be able to maximize the benefits of Walmart Plus, we highly recommend claiming the free trial to the service, and we've got everything you need to know about it right here.

Is there a Walmart Plus free trial?
There is a Walmart Plus free trial available, and it’s one of the best free trials we’ve seen in terms of how many great features and conveniences you’re able to access. This is really a reflection of how great the Walmart Plus service is, as the Walmart Plus free trial is essentially a 30-day experience of what it would be like to be a paid Walmart Plus subscriber. A Walmart Plus membership can help you save over $1,300 per year, so taking advantage of the 30-day free trial is a great way to get in there and see what those savings will look like. And if grocery delivery is what you're really after, an alternative you might consider is the Instacart free trial -- they have more than one program to try!

Google’s Nest thermostat cull is a warning to all smart home users
Nest Thermostat

If you were an early adopter of the Nest Learning Thermostat, bad news: Google has announced the end of support for the first and second generation models as of October 25. That means that, for all intents and purposes, you can drop the "smart" descriptor. You'll no longer be able to control the devices from your phone or from Google Assistant, although they will continue to function as standard, wall-mounted thermostats.

Google's support post reads, "As we look at what it takes to support your energy needs going forward, it has become increasingly challenging to continue to update these products given the early hardware. So we made the difficult decision that starting October 25, 2025, Nest Learning Thermostat (1st gen, 2011), Nest Learning Thermostat (2nd gen, 2012), and Nest Learning Thermostat (2nd gen, Europe version, 2014) will no longer receive software updates."

EcoFlow launches new portable air conditioner and cooler just in time for summer
The EcoFlow Wave 3 in a cabin.

EcoFlow is responsible for some of our favorite eco-friendly energy solutions, including a battery-powered AC unit we used to turn a van into a portable office. Building on this unit’s success, EcoFlow has officially launched the Wave 3 -- a powerful new portable AC unit -- and the Glacier Classic -- an electric cooler. Both devices make big improvements over their predecessors, giving you a convenient way to keep yourself (and your beverages) cool during epic summer adventures.

The EcoFlow Wave 3 is based on the existing Wave 2, though it incorporates over two years of user feedback into its final design. The portable unit both cools and heats spaces, and according to EcoFlow, it can lower temperatures of small spaces by 15 degrees in just 15 minutes. It packs in 1800W of cooling power and 2000W of heating power, and its built-in battery means it’s ideal for off-grid locations.
