Excuse the iphone quality photos, but I cant find my camera anywhere :dk:

I finished setting up my new rack on the weekend. Moved filters and water from existing tanks. It stands about 6ft tall, which doesnt really show in the photo. Top tank is for pepps, middle im unsure and the bottom for shrimp.



Tested the water and everything is fine, so moved the pepps in



Shrimp tank is going through a mini cycle again, as the new substrate is releasing ammonia at the moment, so they wont move in for a few weeks

looking good so far. (yes caves and wood in top would be good)
let us know what you decide on the middle one.
if you are keeping it without lights it might do well for hypans or dwarf panaques. not sure what is available to you where you are.

Thanks, the pepps tank has had caves added since the first photo, and before they moved in. The rack is purely a breeding set up, so will not get scaped, apart from the shrimp tank, which is hardly a scape lol.

Hows it all looking now? What is that rack made of? Does any one know places in the uk that sell metal racks and deliver?

CCole, go to any metalsmith with your rack plans, and they will make you a rack. I paid like £20 for my materials and the metalsmith in our village, built my design for another £40, so in all it only cost me £60. I would of been this in postage if I bought it online etc. Plus, it was built to my specs and sizes and I knew it would fit in my shed where I wanted it.

Just check your local Yellow Pages.
