here is the design that the arb rack is based on:

I used a very similar method to build my rack except my tubs are oriented in a different fashion.

I think Tim (muddoc) uses the EbN type rack.

Thanx alot guy's.

Daniel is correct. I use the EbN style rack. The rack that Daniel linked to is actually the rack that Sean uses for his boas. I use the exact same design, just for a smaller tub. I also eliminate the center brace from the wooden boxes, as they are not necessary for the samller tubs. I use CB-70's by the way. I am offshore right now, but I should be going home tommorrow. If you need any help, just give me a call, or ask and I can take some pics of anything you may need help with.

I have also built a few racks based on Sean's design at EBN, but using CB 70 tubs. I ended up running a strip of 3" heat tape under each tub toward the back. I love the design, it has all the benefits of the FB racks; open air, hanging tubs so no rubbing on the heat tape and they fit side by side snugly too. I still have a few PVC and Melamine racks in use that I've built over the years, but hopefully we'll be switching over to open air on all our racks soon. If I had seen plans like these back when I started making racks, I would've made all of them with this design.
