    New Rack

    Part of my Tax Refund went into building a new melamine rack. I ordered some of the parts from Reptile Basics today (Thermostat and Heat Tape) and I finished constructing the structure:



    Now all I gotta do is put on the trim and setup the heat tape once I got it and we'll be rocking!

    Great looking rack. I think the next rack I build I am going to try melamine.

    Going to Tape it down, you'll notice that the tubs have lids on them, I did this because the lids are perfect spacers.

    Yes.

    Each shelf is held in by 8 2" Screws on both sides. Props goes to Freakie_Frog and mxrider42 for asissting me with the exact screws and for proof reading my design. Once I'm done I'm going to give a full list of all that I used.
