    Re: AP CB70 rack vs Vivarium electronics racks? Which is better?

You may want to ask Ali at AP their thoughts on weight limit for stacking on top if you want to pursue going with them.
    Agreed. I definitely wouldn't put a fish tank of any size on top of a rack. You might get away with something 1-2 gallons or less full of water, but more than that would be a bad idea. (Not to mention what could happen with spilled water from a water change.. too likely to short out the heat tape or drench a tub.)

    A few tarantula tubs would probably be just fine, but water is heavy (~10 lbs per gallon is the aquarium-hobby standard estimate) and glass tanks add substantial weight as they increase in size due to the glass as well.
