I can build my own racks. I designed/built my 8 tub 28qt rack that I have now. It was my first rack build and there is definitely some things I would like to change about it. It's made from a plastic shelving system and the tubs are REALLY tight...so tight that I literally have to tug them to get them out. I have been wanting to get an XPVC rack from some guys called Infinite Pythons. However, I'm wondering if I should just build me the 8 tub 41 qt rack for now and let my collection grow a bit and then save so I can spend about $2,000 to update all my homemade racks once I'm out of school. Ultimately I want a freedom breeder rack (-drools-) but those are so expensive! One day!
Now...my buddy asked me the other day what I would use on a homemade rack. I can't decide if I want to use melamine or plywood. I like melamine because it comes pre-sealed, but I would rather use plywood and seal it then paint it or stain it. Opinions on what kind of plywood to use?
