Paul_Obermiller Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I am looking for shelves to hold 20 longs, 20 highs, 10s and 5.5s what would be a great option that is also not super expensive. I have seen the gladiator shelves but they are like $230 dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could also make your own out of all 2x4s if you feel handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalin Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Costco has similar shelves in the $130-150 range. with the way building supplies are priced right now, you would spend more than that on simple 2x4 shelves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal_Tara Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I just purchased the Edsal heavy duty rack at Home Depot for my new 40 breeder. I paid 79.00 for the 36 w 18 d 60 H, I am only using half of it at this point. I know several muscle rack systems come in smaller dimensions 24 W or 30 W. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elser Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 This is a rack I bought from Home Depot for $80. Holds 800lbs but I would definitely replace the particleboard shelves with plywood. One 4x8 board will take care of all of 4 shelves.I know lumber is expensive right now but it should still all come out to be under $200. Very easy to build and I used it for 10s and 20 longs for breeding shrimp 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
