Ap 18 tub rack

I bought this rack used at a local reptile show. I was told they hold cb70 tubs and it came with ten of them. My problem is these tubs to work with this rack require lids I dislike lids alot. When I put the tub in with out a lid there is a giant gap. My question is do I have the right tubs for this rack? or if I do have the right tubs is there another tub that fits better lidless?

It might help if you listed the dimension of the space in-between the levels. And maybe a pic.

or post pics

sorry for the lack of info. assuming I measure them correctly the measurements I got were 33.25 L 17.75 W 5.5 H.

Just got off the phone with AP. Come to find out it is a iris 900 rack. So my ten tubs I already have are useless, and the ones I need the only place I can find them is the container store for 120 for 6. Anybody know a cheaper place to find these tubs? Guess I shouldn't be to mad even if I buy all 18 tubs at that price I am still only into this rack for 650.

Wow! I'll stick with mine lol, can you use yours with the lis on/latched?

Yeah I could use the 10 tubs I have with the lids on but its such a pain to take the lids off everyday.

Did you try the 41 qt tubs from your local walmart or the tubs they sell?:D

I have seen an AP rack just like that and it uses the 41 qt Sterilite tubs like BEasy suggested.

I will have to give it a shot. Thanks

if you want to use the tubs that came with the rack you could shim them up to close the gap.

What would you use to do that? How much of a pain would it be for my daily checking of my tubs?
