Shyte Phung did not help! He started bugging me about bagging a lot of fish which left David working alone. Phung has tons of fish in his car


Len he has to break them apart to fit it in the car. I loaned him some long clamps so he can re-assemble them on his own.

The Rack is 37.5" wide and 19" deep with about 11" cleareance on first and 2nd level. THird level is just on top of the rack.

sounds like a winner!!

that sucks, all that hard work and then you had to take it apart. and then rebuild it lol. post pictures of the final product.

i want to see the completed picture of the rack with the tanks installed. Especially that TOP 40g breeder!!

lol. it is tall.

Awesome!

wow good job!! nice racks! i hope some day i can have my own fish room

Very nice! I may have to steal that design, but I would only go 2 high.... I'm not a fan of catching fish while on a ladder
Good job yall!

eah you could stack 3 and not be on ladder but you would have a very small space between the tanks.

Very nice...

Nice work. May have to use some of your design when I do mine. What fish get the pleasure of this setup?  

some tangs (calvus / 2 cyp / 2 kelisa). hongi, and iso tank.

i finished the clear coat and will put it together tomorrow i hope lol.

i see where you had to go back and cut the horizontal board going the width of the rack to get the box to the inside of the walls on the bottom row. let us know how it hold up, i may copy this one day. I don't want my tanks to come crashing down.

yea it will be strong.

cool, im just messing wit cha. it looks plenty strong. Post the final product.
