Jimmy Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Between the top of an aquarium and the rail of the next rack, how much space should I go for? 10 inches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 as much as you can get away with. the less the clearance above a tank, the more of a pain in the rear its going to be to clean. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Cory Posted August 19, 2021 Administrators Share Posted August 19, 2021 The minimum I think that's workable is 8, but 10 is definitely better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd Duck Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I have 8.5” above my 10 G tanks in my stack and it really isn’t quite enough. Another inch would do wonders for ease of maintenance. I have 7.5” above my 5 G blackworm culture tanks and it is definitely awkward but I don’t have to siphon substrate in them, just do water changes after stirring the mulm a bit then letting worms settle back down. It isn’t horrible, but very tight. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
