    For the curious this is an adjustable storage rack with heat tape. I wanted something that would be easy to put together with minimal tools (since I don't have a garage/workspace) and hold a lot of weight. It's also versatile, which is great for my needs because I wanted a grow up rack. This thing can hold anything from 6qt tubs up to 41qts. I'm gonna share my materials list, though I know the storage rack has gone up in price since I bought it.

    Sandusky/Edsal 36" x 72" x 18" storage shelf - $42.90 (I only used half the height)
    Heat tape w/ connectors - $37.48 (Reptile Basics, had them connect for me)
    2" x 30' Foil tape - $3.35 (good ol' Home Depot)
    Tubs - $30 (Target and Wal-Mart)
    I also used some aluminum foil I had lying around the house to insulate levels 2-4. Maybe $1 worth?


    Total - $114.73 ~ ish

    Not bad, huh? Less than $30 per level and it holds my 40gal breeder on top.
