Rack

Got my RBI rack today and, WOW, I'm a rack/tub convert! I have a Helix Control System on it and my temps humidity have already perfectly stabilized. I can also see that this is going to be a breeze to clean and maintain. In addition, it looks much better than my tank that had all the heating elements and such all over it. Just a nice, clean set up.

And the best part.... room for more BPs!! Weee!

So what temperature is your room? I've been considering getting a rack, but my room temperatures drop quite low...

Fairly warm. Right now its 74ish. I don't know if I'll need it but I had a lamp and stand that held a 250 watt CHE for my tank. I'm thinking of keeping it and using it to generally heat the rack area in winter to help maintain the hot/cold gradient so my Flexwatt heat tape won't have to work so hard. However, you need to get the recommendations of more experienced rack owners on whether it works well in a really cold environment.

lol we( I ) demanad pictures. I don't see many purchased racks just alot of the home made type . which I liek anyhow casue I know I can't afford a 300+ rack setup and then special tubs.

Yeah I agree mech I want pics too!

Ok but it will take me a few moments as I have never posted a pic. Gotta read the sticky on how to do it.

It's real simple.

Get a photobucket account (or a different website) and upload the pictures there. Then you copy the IMG code that comes with every picture and just post it in the thread :D

Is this it????

Ha!! It did work! It's sitting on a plastic shelving unit I had in my garage. I use it to hold various BP related stuff (as you can see). Ok, so I admit I now have room for 1 more BP... but, they're stackable and I can get a couple more units when I need them (LOL).

Welcome to the Tub Club!!!

RBI makes outstanding racks, and I haven't had a stitch of trouble with mine. More room for BPs is always a good thing!

oh ok I though you were talknig about a large rack.. lol I have 15 snakes . it take at least 5 of them and i bet they not really supper large like i need ( about 40+ quarts) .. still that nice looking that make a nice qt rack for my desk in the room when I need one lol..

Naw. It's a little un. However, can expand it as needed. I thought I'd save $$ when I bought my first BP since I already had the tank. However, after buying all the accessories I needed, I spent a couple hundred bucks. Wish I had just put that into my rack. And the humidity went up and down and up and down.

My female pied is being delivered on Thursday (see Avatar) so I'm very excited!! Now I can make little pieds and such in 3 or so years.
