Bulls guard/forward Jimmy Butler screamed when he walked into his River North mansion last month and saw his new boombox-themed aquarium.

"This is incredible," said Butler, 26. "I wish I could put it on my shoulder and walk around with it."

The 6,000-pound tank was set up by Wayde King and Brett Raymer, the stars of Animal Planet's "Tanked." The episode featuring the installation of Butler's saltwater aquarium is scheduled to air 9 p.m. Friday.

The 9-feet-tall, 10-feet-long aquarium holds more than 600 gallons and 50 fish — for the Bulls' upcoming 50th anniversary — including the Jordan's tuskfish to honor Bulls star Michael Jordan.

The aquarium has a custom bubbler to make it look like it's a boombox equalizer, but the feature Butler seemed to enjoy the most is the wireless speaker system on top so music can filter through the tank.

"My fish gonna be bumpin' here," Butler said.

Butler's six-bedroom, 10,000-square-foot mansion, which he purchased in September for $4.3 million, includes a custom staircase, an elevator and a 750-bottle wine cellar.

Butler, who was selected by the Bulls in the 2011 NBA draft, signed a five-year contract this summer worth more than $90 million.

Or the sequel to Soul Plane, 'Soul Sub'.
