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.

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.

Get no-stress, hands-free cleaning with LG’s CordZero and save big

LG CordZero all in one stick vacuum with auto empty dock.

This content was produced in partnership with LG Electronics.
Cleaning, or more specifically vacuuming your home, is one of those tasks that can be tedious, and genuinely unenjoyable, and yet we all have to do it. It doesn't matter whether you live in a studio apartment or a single-family home, cleaning is a must to get rid of dust, dirt, and other things you track inside. If you have pets or kids, then you'll also be cleaning up fur, pet dander, and various messes -- maybe even food or snack spills. With the right tools, like LG's All-in-One Cordless Stick Vacuum, the entire process is faster and more convenient.

Available with an auto-empty dock, that both automatically charges the unit between uses and keeps the dustbin free and clear of debris, the CordZero Stick Vacuum is a real game-changer when it comes to keeping any space clean. The unique Kompressor technology compresses dirt and dust, fitting more in the dustbin, and allowing you to clean with less stopping, especially thanks to the extended battery life. Normally $849, you can save 30% when you use promo code VAC30, bringing the price down to $594. Plus, you'll receive a free Total Tool Care kit, which includes several add-ons for the vacuum like a mattress tool, flexible crevice tool -- to get into hard-to-reach places -- and extendable hose. That deal is only valid between May 26 and May 29, so don't waste any time if you're interested.
