Obeice Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 So finally finished building the stand today for the new rack. The rack is 16ft long with 3 tiers. Top and middle levels are going to hold 8 4x2x18 tanks, bottom level is going to hold 9 2x15x18 tanks and a 5x18x18 sump. Tanks are getting built by Mick at pacific pines. Tomorrows mission is to paint the rack and install the air header. I will keep you guys up to date with the build as it progresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've enlisted the help of Mick (tank builder) to sort the sump out he wanted to do a 5x18x18 but i can't quiet fit that in so we have had to go back to a 4ft sump.
