    Re: I am going to build a rack
    Here is our rack. We built it out of melamine from Home Depot; if you bring in your specs and size needs, they will saw it there for you. Any questions, please ask or PM me! Oh, it holds Sterilite 41-QT tubs. Heating is Exo-Terra heatmats on dimmers, though most people use flexwatt, this works for me. I too use the metal tape to attach the UTHs to the tub underside.

    Call your home depot to check before going there. Neither of the ones here cut it and neither does Lowe's.

    All these rack pictures have me kind of excited! :)

    By the way, anyone ever get a cut running their finger across the edge of foil tape? Wicked bad!
