    Ya I’m gonna get some other items. Going to need a brine shrimp hatchery also. I’ve spent so much money what’s the difference lol

    The door shims work great with the testing I did. Any thoughts of leveling for the rack shelves?
  3. Jimmy
    What about it? It’s like a 1/8 an inch discrepancy enough to not be good long term. What about flooring underlayment?

    First of 4 racks in my small fish room. Minor garage slope. any problem with using door shim on two of the legs to get it close to plum? secondly obviously buying 23 aqueons the 10s are absolutely perfect and with minor rack imperfections I want to do foam for each shelf. Where do you guys get your leveling material?

    I tried seeing if I could live with it but I can’t. I need to make 4 racks only 2 with dado cuts. This will give me an opportunity to get tighter dados

    Yup same I have a guy but it didn’t make sense on my hobby room plus I don’t care that much lol

    I return to work Monday. I’ve probably spent 40 hours working on this or more. I generally work 55-60 a week so time is of the essence LOL. I’ve learned a TON and it’s been quite the experience. I loved doing the electrical and that’s where I made sure I was dead accurate.

    Ohhh ya. Painted went for speed this isn’t the Sistine Chapel. Coverage was good, my mudding skills has tons of room for improvement lol

    I went with 10 on the first rack I built it was a mistake LOL. My math was bad. It leaves like 4 inches between the ceiling and the rim of the top aquarium. I can live with 8. Thankfully 2x4 is down to 4.69 here

    For anyone following I was able to get 2 racks on my wall that is slightly more than 7 feet. Rather than doing a center support on a 7 foot rack I felt more confident in having a rack that was 4 tens wide and a second that is 3 tens wide. My dado cuts aren’t crazy tight but not enough in my mind to be an issue. The one or two that were a concern I was able to shim in a sliver with a hammer that came from the cut itself. I predrilled holes and I’m sinking in some real Good fasteners. I may use wood glue. I intend on staining them rather than painting black. I forgot to take pictures but there will be more. Here’s my helper

    Painting one thick coat and calling it good. Hope to work on stands tonight

    Nothing is super precise but my vision is clear. What I spent the most research on and nagging members was electrical. Turns out, wiring my room was the most fun. I’m 75% completed. Budget build and well 2 grand into it. Glad lumber has come down. I would of ran the top plates on the rafters if I can go back but my walls are sturdy and sound. I did spray foam to account for the slope and called it good. insulation was fun

    Found out today I’m not a drywall finisher LOL. My mud job was awful. Decided I’m going with a distressed look LOL. Going to paint tonight

    Went with a light gray. I’m only painting the back and bottom panel. I’m doing mostly bare bottom

    Went with 10. Got 6 boxes from you today Cory pretty exciting
  19. Jimmy
    I went with 10, thanks!
  20. Jimmy
    Thanks for the response. I was hoping to get a 4 shelf in but it would be too tight. Going to leave room for storage up top

    Between the top of an aquarium and the rail of the next rack, how much space should I go for? 10 inches?

    Well my pump and 27 sponge filters arrive from the coop today . Looking forward to hooking it up. Might not get that far this week. Make sure to check out my build thread and I will have updates today. Link in my signature

    Looks like a great start! What air pump you using and was the loop easy to install?
  25. Jimmy
