    Nice job:gj: Looks like you could put one of those right in the living room. More like snake furniture than a rack.
    Sure would look better than a bunch of fish tanks in the house.

    WHere did you find the 41qt tubs? None of my stores around here have them. Only a 40q whick didnt look much bigger that a 32qt and a 66qt.

    I got the 41 q sterilites at my local wal mart...I used 11" flex watt as back heat and it works awesome...my room temps are 75-78 degrees and the hot end of my tubs stays around 90-91 cool end is 85-88....this thing performs perfectly....On the back of the rack there is a door which opens...the heat tape is mounted to the inside of the door for easy accessibility. I will try an get some more pics of it soon.:D

    I think the sideways tubs are fine. The snakes will show you when they are to hot if the stay at the front of there tubs all the time. Great rack.
