I knew she had a nice rack, but wow! The support looks great and having them slightly separated is just icing on the cake. I bet they look better in person, I hope to get my hands on a set like that sometime soon. I’m not sure if I’ll go with black ones, I thought they looked better bare. Ok, I’m done. Happy fish keeping everybody!

I am so happy to find a video of yours in my email in box! The quarantine makes me feel so cut off, I enjoy seeing you two! I always worry that whatever rack or stand won't be strong enough to hold a tank. One 10-gallon is one thing, but how do you figure out that all of those tanks will not be too heavy? They look AMAZING, BTW!!!

I don't know the expense involved but I want to build a heavy duty hanging shelf that can support a trough-like aquarium that's divided several times and turn it into a slow moving river system for multiple bettas. They only thing I'm hung up on is filtration; making sure there's enough in the middle sections and not too much on the ends.

@sigh6140 4 жыл бұрын

I would strongly consider a runner board across the bottom of the legs. The issue is if there is a lateral force applied, like if someone tripped into it, that whichever leg has the most friction will take most of the momentum, and could very well snap, and then ofc just domino from there. If you have a runner board, the issue as negated and it will even out stress/momentum across the whole base.

I guess we were doing about the same thing during these nice warm days. Too bad it is cold today. I built a shelf I could put two ten gallon aquariums on along with some nice house plants (probably some ferns and a couple of bonsai trees) and made some support for a desk so I could put my 29 gallon on it. They will all be on one side of my room. Building my own custom light stand too, so the light will not be shining at me, and only at the tanks and plants on this 6 foot long shelf I created.

@stevehaag6116 4 жыл бұрын

John... thank you for this and all of your video's. I am new to the hobby and came across a deal I could not pass up but I also know that I need to ease into it. I just purchased 4 twenty gallon long and 14 10 gallon tanks all brand new from a gentleman who was planning on setting up a fish room for breeding. As I was just furloughed from work today I have some time to built the racks.... one to start with. My question is concerning the sponge filters from Aquarium co-op which I am intending to purchase as well....do you believe the Nano or Small is the best for the 10 gallon tanks. My other question is concerning the air pump as I hope to purchase 1 pump to run the 6 tanks on the initial rack but would like it to be able to handle the addition of a second set of 6 in the future. I am sure this information will be coming up in future videos but any help would be appreciated as I am in the planning stage and hope to make some decisions soon. PS: This is all Cory's fault as I watched his video about buying tanks on Craig's list.
