    Built My First Rack!

    Finally finished building my first rack, and I have to say it was alot easier to build than I expected.

    Here's a pic of the finished project:





    I could have easily stacked another shelf up at the top, but I like having a work area and thats where I'll be putting the tubs when I'm working on them.

    I went with Spyder Robotics Herpstat 1. I spen a little extra and made it the Redline model. I think its kinda cool, and I love the red light that it gives off when the room is dark.



    Here's the inside of on of the tubs:



    Thats my albino girl that still has not eaten for me, hopefully putting her in a smaller tub will make her feel more secure. I'm using 32 quart tubs, with 16 holes on the front and back each. 18 holes on the sides, and 30 on the lid.

    I'm using 4 inch THG heat tape, and the thermostat is set to 94, which equals out to about 87 ish in the tubs.

    The only issue I'm having right now is the humidty. Its pretty high, but once I get that under control I'm sure it's going to be smooth sailing.

    Any questions or concerns? Any advice?
    I've got quite a few...

    Nice job! I love having a work area on top. My next racks won't have that though. Only because I only need on work area. Herpstats are great. I really like the redline too.

    Congrats on the rack and now you just have to work on filling it up!
