    just to make sure i did this correct

    alright i put two shelves on my rack and im pretty sure i did it right

    i used a little piece of pegboard on top of my tub for the 1/8" gap then i put the shelf on and drilled it in

    hopefully i did the gap right????

    Sounds good, do you have a tube that you will be using in your rack to check the clearance?

    I'm pretty sure that they meant "tub" not "tube"

    Did you try the fit after putting the shelf together?

    You should be good, but if you end up with too much gap, you can get that foam drawer liner from WalMart or a really thin yoga mat (they're about the same) and cut and glue it to the shelves, then tape your flexwatt on top of that. I had to do that with one of my racks. It worked great and my girlfriend hasn't missed her yoga mat yet.
    What are these mojavas I keep hearing so much about?

    This might be a good idea if you ever have small kids around or something who could mess with the tubs; but you shouldn't have to worry about the snakes pushing the tubs out. At least I've never had a snake push a tub out.
