    x2 well put, super flimsy and major escape problems.

    I made a rack that hold three 41 quart tubs or smaller i bought it at home depot awhile back for 10 bucks i saw one the other day for $15 look for sales,its one of those plastic racks people use for like there garages all you have to do is cut the legs down to fit snuggly ontop of the tubs but not so tight or you cant get the tubs out.Than i got three 41 quart tubs at sears for 8 bucks each.But it can also hold six 16 quart tubs,twelve 6.5 quart tubs and so on its just the matter on how you cut the legs

    I just have one tub in use right now with heating pad from pet store that i already owned and hooked it up to a dimmer switch to "try" and keep the temp at like 93 but if you can afford flex watt and a thermostat get that instead because this dimmer switch thing stinks you always have to keep an eye on it i did just get flex watt and the ve-300 thermostat but it didn't come with the probe so i have to wait for it in the mail but there sending me a free one..Sorry if i hijacked your page about my heating issue just didnt want people to think what i have in the picture is staying like that lol

    At walmart they have a metal "multi purpose" shelving unit for about $40 bucks I think. I bought that and bought 4-34 qt sterilight tubs with lids.

    I got just flimsy plywood a Home Depot cut down to fit on each shelf.

    Taped down flexwatt on each wood board with aluminum tape, wired it all together (I can try and explain the process if you need me to), and added a thermostat.

    I think all together I spent maybe 100 bucks, not including the thermostat....

    Here is is (with only 3 tubs at the time..)

    Not much to look at but it was easy and cheap...and works really well.
