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.

Smarten up your holiday scene with the Govee Icicle Lights
The Govee Icicle Lights.

Keen to make your home this holiday season look fantastic? If you’re aiming for a National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation style appearance but want it smarter, you need more than just the Philips Hue deals going on. Right now, you can buy the Govee Icicle Lights set for just $90 at Best Buy so you’re saving $50 off the regular price of $140. They make the outside of your home look gorgeous while being super practical. Here’s all you need to know before you buy.

Why you should buy the Govee Icicle Lights
I love Govee products. Since buying the Govee Lyra Smart Floor Lamp, I’ve been consistently impressed by how well its products work while being very keenly priced. It’s a different kind of technology than the best cheap smart light bulbs but it’s perfect for stringing together some lights around your home or room. The only downside is the company's app isn't as stylish as the Hue one but you get all the same benefits for a much better price.

Multicolor markdown: This Philips Hue 3-Pack of A19 bulbs is $80 off today
Philips hue white and color ambiance light bulbs in box.

When it comes to smart home tech, one of the top brands that comes to mind for smart lighting is Philips Hue. Designed for plug-and-play connectivity, Philips Hue devices are easy to set up and a breeze to control. And if you’re operating a Hue Bridge, you’ll be able to control up to 50 different Hue products! Philips Hue deals can be a little hard to come by, which is why we’ve chosen to highlight this great Best Buy offer. Right now, when you purchase the Philips Hue A19 White and Color Ambiance (3-Pack), you’ll only pay $80. At full price, this model sells for $135.

Why you should buy the Philips Hue A19 White and Color Ambiance (3-Pack)
While investing in a Hue Bridge will unlock the full capabilities of your Philips Hue system, this A19 White and Color Ambiance (3-Pack) can be controlled over Bluetooth, too. Do keep in mind this introduces range and device limitations, though, so going Wi-Fi might be a top consideration regardless. Not to mention, you’ll be able to control your Hue system remotely (Bluetooth relies on a host device to be nearby).
