I have the 77" wide Husky metal shelving from Home Depot (2,500lbs per shelf). 24" inches deep loaded with side by side 40g breeders. The shelves come with metal cross bracing and metal wire grate to provide base support for each shelf. I'm adding 1x 3 wood slats that run 24" perpendicular to the shelves where I'm setting my tanks on top of. I originally contemplated ply-wood but not needed since the support for each shelf floor is in place (plus don't want to deal with rotten plywood in the future). In your case, with 10s, that system would be more than enough to handle your tanks. Just make sure the shelving system can handle the weight of your tanks. For example see Jadren Aquatics YouTube video on his racks. His racks are the longer 96" but the same setup applies for the smaller 77" rack.

Thanks Cory. That will make my life easier with fish plumbing. haha

Great looking tank. I'm thinking of getting shellies. This helps.

I have good well water here in Texas that is not too hard. I'm planning on implementing a water drip/change system that will use this well water. The issue I'm unsure about is the lack of Oxygen when it comes out of the ground. Should I stage/store the water prior to using in tanks? My tanks have 2 sponge filters and HOB to create surface tension; so is that enough to address the Oxygen in my well water?

Just finished setup on 20L. I have 2 medium sponges with a Tidal 55 HOB. Stocked with Ram/Tetras/Corys/Rasporas/Shrimp/Ottos. They came from a smaller tank so the transfer over was easy. I'll run this setup until I get their 40B community tank all set. The extra sponge is there to provide bioload used on other tank. I always have 2 sponges running so I can shift to other tanks when starting. I love the Tidal55 for the 20L. I run it on the end and can adjust the flow. Everybody is happy for now. So I agree you can never have too much filtration/bacteria media. Only issue is flow which can be regulated.
