Nice setup!
Thats looks great!:gj:

Nice setup :gj:

Welcome to the club!:gj: People that have never had an auto-waterer just don't know what they are missing! Now you have the option to enjoy breeding rodents, instead of being enslaved by water bottles, lol!

Edit: Forgot to mention that it looks great, but if your rats get crazy like mine you should put a board or something under that water tub on top, it may not stay there!

^^oh yeah im going to home depot tomorrow to get a 2x1 so i can make little rails on the side and the back so it doesnt move. my rats are pretty calm though. they only move around alot when i open the tubs. thanks for the suggestion!!! and holy bujesus you got alot of freaking rodents!

Yeah, I've got a couple, lol. You know you have too many when you have to gas 4 or 5 breeding groups a week to keep the numbers under control. My growout bins keep turning into breeding grounds before I have time to separate them!:P

lol thats alittle bit on the horrible side :P but you gotta do what you gotta do!

That is what I want to do, how much did it cost to set it up? Money is tight right now but Im done being a water boy for them rats! forgot to ask what tubs are those and how many rats can you keep in that rack? thanks

i spent 73 dollars total for enough parts for two watering systems. meaning enough supplies for twelve tubs. i bought 12 t joints, 2 L joints. 2 connection valves, 12 clips for the 12 nipples, and for some reason i dont know what i was thinking at the time but i bought 40ft of the 3/16 tubing.... and the bucket came with my previous purchase of kitty litter!

Edit: i just finished the second rack today with mortar tubs. the watering system will be done when the next kitty litter bucket is empty!

Nice set up! You did very well.

Great work! I think you'll be pleased with your choice to make a jumbo pan rack and a morter tub rack. You can put 1.3 - 1.4 in each morter tub and use the other rack for preggo's. If you ever need to up production you can bump that up to 1.5-1.6 and build another jumbo pan rack and a growout rack out of the large morter tubs. Again, looks good!

lol I like that and ir done right the way it looks you can leave for the weekend and be safe from runningo ut of water. It one reason I can't take a trip out of town for a night or 2 without having someone to keep comoing by 2-3 times a day to check water bottles. My one tank emptys a 20 oz bottle every 7 hours or so unless everyone sleeps a lot. I may have ot try this this summer with a couple groups once I gett the grass cutting funds rollnig in lol.
