Its Hutch Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Anybody have any recommendations on racks available to buy at Walmart or other retail stores that could be used to house several 5 1/2 or 10g tanks? Any good DIY resources? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy B Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Cory has a video on using cinder blocks and 2x4s to DIY a shelf which I've used in the past, Teds fishroom also has a video on DIY shelving out of 2x4s which I am now using. I have seen a few youtubers use the gladiator racks from homedepot but I'm not a fan of them for fish tanks, love them for random garage and house storage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickS77 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I know most of the ACO crew uses the Gladiator garage shelves but those seem out of stock right now. I use the Edsel ones from Lowes, I have 10s and 20s on it. I plan to buy another in the coming weeks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy B Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 (edited) I do and have used metal racks like the gladiator units. I really like the 2ft wide pallet racks if you can find them for 20Hs, and work for 10s with wasted space in the back. The benefit with the pallet racks is you can get different width shelving to fit your needs. The shelves I use have a rating of 2500lb per shelf, so theres no sag with the tanks installed Edited October 3, 2020 by Jeremy B 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
