    yeah well even with that spacing its tough to get the food the whole length of the tubs now so with less it would be next to impossible.

    Re: Finally Got my Water System!!!

    I agree about putting the levels closer together and adding feed. I have built a few racks and it seems every rack I build I tend to put the levels too close together trying to save space. I put my food at the back with a stopper bar so only 1/3 of the pan has food over it. It can be difficult to add feed. I find it easiest to add feed when I clean. I take the top tub out and add feed to the level below it since it has plenty of room with the tub above it removed. Other than that I think it looks great.

    Yeah as said before I used plans for the rack from Clay Davenport and he has made plenty of these so I was confident in using the spacing measurements he provided. And as well as the way I ran my water system. Everything came together well even though I had to modify my rack to fit the height clearance in my basement I still used all his measurements. All I did was instead of 6 tubs high I went 4 and then added 4 more to it which gave a total of 8 tubs instead of the 6 tubs his was made to fit. But I have plenty of width room in the basement but not enough height so it worked out great for me.
