I love racks!

I finally made the switch from annoying tanks!

These are built in two pieces so they could either be stacked, or side by side. One holds 16q tubs and the other holds 35q tubs. I ended up making it bigger than planned since the wood was cut at Lowes and they suck at it. I now have room for 2 more shelves.

4" Flexwatt on each shelf is wired to a seperate plug so I can run corns and BP's on the same rack on different settings. The shelf liner only goes back 12 inches so as not to interfere with the heat tape.

I am controlling it with a Herpstat PRO. :gj:

Had enough scrap left for another small rack.

I will take final pics tomorrow since these were taken before my Herpstat and Flexwatt arrived. I just love how easy it was to setup and stabilize.

It's an Accurite Thermometer/Hygrometer with ambient temp and a probe. I got most of those at Walmart, I believe you can get them at Lowes or Home Depot as well. They are about $12. I mount them in the larger tubs and use the probe over the UTH for monitoring. The small white ones are also Accurite but only measure ambient and humidity about $6 each. The thermostat probes are taped to the Flexwatt.

I got the Laminate at Home Depot I believe. I have used it for tank backgrounds before. I also have some marble laminate that I may be using for the small rack since I ran out of the wood grain.

I only spent about $40 on materials since I had a $50 gift card to Lowes from work :gj: Just got another $100 gift card so who knows whats next?!?
