Re: DIY Large Rack

Re: DIY Large Rack - Part 2 Putting it together
Very nice DIY Sean. I always love to see how other people do it. I always get an idae for improvement on my own racks from other peoples mistakes or successes. Job Well Done.

Re: DIY Large Rack
Why do I see people putting reflectix 'ontop' of the flex watt? Never made sence to me, each row of flexwatt is heating the tubs above it... so why put insulation between the flexwatt and the tubs.
(________) tub
======== reflectix
----------- flexwatt
I dont see how this makes sence, if anything you should lay down reflectix then put flexwatt ontop of the reflectix so that heat doesnt radiate down, but all goes up to the bottom of the tub.
(________)

get what im sayin? if im wrong, sorry lemme in on the secret.

Re: DIY Large Rack
What's the best thickness of flexwatt to use on these racks? 4", 6" or 11" wide?

Thank you...I have changed this rack a couple of times...the top now has a custom cage I built for my yearling Burm (used to be a hatchling rack)...so the rack has lots of uses depending on need and configuration.

It really depends on the amount of heat you need. In my case the room is heated so I used 3" which is also the same thickness as the metal channeling I used to support the heat with. If you could figure out a support you could use whatever size flexwatt you wanted to.
Hope this helps.
