that room is a work of art. holy cow am i jealous.

And it's amazing I can fit it all in a 10 foot by 20 foot room!

cchardwick your setup is what I had in mind. Everything is laid out so well. I like how, with the professional racks you can get more out of a smaller space. Than you can with some of the diy stuff. Which can be neat as some have shown. However setups like yours are very nice I imagine they save some time when it comes to maintenance as well. Thanks for the pictures.

I recommend avoiding melamine or any presswood in general. They will work fine for awhile, but Like hardwick said, they eventually get moldy, warp and can chip from humidity.
Melamine is not very strong either if you use large tubs with big snakes and heavy moist substrate, water bowls... etc. a lot of weight on my rack shelves.
Either go plastic, or stainless steel, or if you DIY, like me use thick, cabinet grade oak plywood with primer and water-proof deck paint. Stronger than plastic and almost as water-proof, though nothing beats solid pvc if you are building your own.

That’s an awesome setup Hardwick. You should be an ARS salesman! Lol

I use c serpent racks and I can't complain. I just set a incubator I got from them as well.

I have a 20 tub ARS 8018 and so far it's pretty nice. My only gripe are the windows in the tubs. The glue job was kind of shoddy so I ended up drilling 6 holes(2 for each long side, 1 for the shorts) and zip tying so I wouldn't have to worry about them popping out anymore. I don't mind the powder coating really. I'm in hot/humid/salty florida so used to living with a bit of rust. I think my next purchase will be a Freedom Breeder 66-6. Mainly because the 66-6 tubs are a fair bit larger than the biggest model ARS offers.

I finally made my mind up. I went with The Freedom Breeder 1030 model.
