Over the past or so I have working on getting the first of two breeding racks built. Here are the pics.

Framing of the shelves and shelf tops installed.



Breeding unit installed with supports



Breeding rack painted and foam padding installed on the shelves



Getting closer to the fun stuff aquarium stuff. The carpentry stuff isn't terrible but I am looking forward to the aquarium set up part. Still have to get the electricity done and the second breeding rack built, before I can start getting into that.

    You're making progress and that's good. You have to make another breding rack like that one? Man, you do have a whole lot of plumbing to do with all those tanks. Do you have to run dedicated electrical outlets for the setup? I can't remember if you had talked about that with your plans. ;-)

    Thanks Hat! The second rack is going to be a little bit less involved, only 2 shelves. My goals is try and run the system off of three circuits. I didn't do any initial planning the electrical until I saw where everything landed. Now that I have a pretty good idea where everything is , I can start doing some planning with the electrical.

    Cool! You could make the second rack with three shelves and use the third for supplies and if you ever upgrade with more tanks you will have the shelve space for more tanks. ;-). Just an idea.

    Unfortunately, the 180 gallon sump for the 245G dispaly gets in the way of the third shelf.

    Mostly clownfish. I also have a pair of Banggai that are spawning regularly. They are currently in a different part of the basement and will be relocated once I have everything set up

    Are you a member of MBI ? Would be good place to start there if your not.
