Home made hatchling rack!
So I've been (slowly) working on a new hatchling rack the last few months. It's done now and thought I'd show it off. It's a 20 tub setup with 3" heat tape for belly heat. I setup 4 dimmer switches to control each level separately. The whole setup including heat ended up costing me around $60.
So any comments?

Most expensive parts were the heat tape and dimmer switches.

Nice setup but I recommend investing in a t-stat for safety.

How did you treat the wood to protect it from expanding and molding with the humidity?

It all came from previous projects that were treated by my work. Kinda why I decided on the wood. It was pretreated and free since the projects were over. Andi didn't like the t-stat idea on this since each level was 10-20 degree difference and I would need 4 of them to regulate each. I have dimmer swiches to regulate each strip separately to a nice 90 constant.
