Is that large enough for an Adult Female BP and a Breeder male if you plan on breeding?

The Iris cb70 tubs that RBI uses are the equivalent to the sterilite 1960 tubs. The cb70 is only 5.25" deep while the sterilite tubs are 6" deep. Thus the cb70s are 37qt and the sterilites are 41qt. But the footprint size is the same. :gj:

Oh ok. That makes sense then, thank you.

I like both RBI and AP. I feel AP quality is a bit better, but they are also more expensive so it makes sense. That being said, I have also been very happy with RBI's quality. At the end of the day, I think it also depends what you are looking for. If you need a rack with only a few tubs (e.g. 4 sweater tubs), the convenience, price and quality of RBI can't be beat. If you think you will need bigger racks with many tubs (e.g. 10 sweater tubs), AP is the way to go I think. What I also like about AP is that they can make racks for any tub even if it isn't listed on their site. I got a hatchling rack from AP that uses the vision V-18 tubs. So if you want a custom job, AP all the way. Just email them and tell them what you want and they will tell you if they can make it and quote you a price. I have been very satisfied by customer service from both.

Im a huge fan of what ever is on sale or second hand at my local expo. lol I use mostly home made racks only because of the price but i'm slowly upgrading to animal plastics. I have one of the economy racks and it works well but tubs do seem to drag a little when i pull them in and out. I am considering talking to a local plastics factory about possibly making some. I've got a friend in managment there and he seems interested. they make pickup bed liners and consoles and such for vehicles. Im hoping to be a product tester if they decide to do a trial run. lol

Email AP about the rubbermaid 3308 tubs. They may make it for you even if it isn't listed on their site. I had them make me a hatchling rack that uses vision V-18 tubs.

Jinx, in the video you said that rack can hold both 15 quart and a 32 quart tubs. Is that the Iris 375 rack? I don't remember you saying exactly which rack it was. Very informative video, thank you!
