Can you post pics of your rack Also the easiest way is to draw it out, but I would say 6 Ts, 6Ls a tank connector and Im not sure about how much tubing.

Ditto! AG select is where it's at! You'll need one of these, one of these, some of these and a bucket for your water supply. All of those parts should be good for one six tub rack.

You will need 1 T for every tub except the very top 2 outside ones, they need L connectors. You will need 6 Ls for the end of each row. I would run a 2 bucket system. 1 sipper for each tub and I would buy about 50ft of tubing, you may end up with a little extra for repairs. You will also need 2 valves, 1 for each bucket.

Man...I posted before I saw the pic. With all the rats you are getting I figured your rack was 4 tubs wide. Cancell my order, you will need just one bucket, 6 Ts, 1 valve and very little tubing, and a lot more of those racks..lol With the number of rats you are talking about I would build my next rack 4 wide, mine is 7 high X 4 wide and I house around 100 regular rats.

Cheapest place I found to buy everything was here
http://www.klubertanz.com/
http://www.klubertanz.com/Catalog.htm
A301 - Valves - $3.18
A302 - Clips - $.44
I bought my T's from home depot in the irrigation department and used the black tub for that also.You will need some a different type of tube to hook up to the water valves tho. Also those clips are expensive, I went into the electrical and wiring section of home depot and bought some 1/4" coaxial cable staples, 100 for $3.49. 5 T's are $1.77 and 5 elbow's are $1.49 and I forgot how much the black tubing was, something like 100' for $5 or so.
