Well anyways i thought i would share these. i bought a new tv and i was going to throw my old entertainment stand, but then i was like i can use this!its going to hold 5 28qt sterlites. now im off to get some more hard board and wait on my flexwatt to come :D

A herper can and will turn anything into a cage or a rack. Nice job!

thanks man its only going to cost me like 80 bucks and the most costly is the flexwatt

Oh nice job and a nice piece of furniture to rehab! Heck I've bought products at the grocery store I didn't even really want just to get the right size plastic container for a hatchling milksnake! LOL

u think i should put a back board on it? will it help with containing heat? im debating if i should get a sheet of that 1/8in cardbord stuff.(pegboard w.o holes)

I always do. It helps the rack stay more steady too.

i would get some shower board. it has a water (moisture) proof plastic over it so it doesn't warp.

my rack is completed:

very nice....Is the hard board just laying on top of the tub or did you make a little shelf with it ?.....when you slide the tub out does the hardwood stay in place ??

Im gonna try and do somthing similar, it looks very good !!

yup thats hard board its screwed in on the sides so its stationary. the only thing that moves are the tubs. on the rear there is an 1/8" backerboard so i dont push the tubs all the way outm bc that would suck!

that looks great, what a way to reuse your old tv stand haha

ya i thought so too! im siked to fill it this sunday. i got 1. pastel and .2 500+g normals coming. hopefully be able to get a .1 pastel and .1 spider to fill the other spots
