I know I need to improve the support of this rack, and I do plan on applying plywood to each shelf to improve the distribution of weight.

I wish I could toss a 40B on the bottom shelf, but most likely will be forced to have a 20L bc of weight limits (each shelf max capacity 350lb).

Each shelf is 47"x18".. Could anyone think of any other sizes to make it efficient for a grow tank?

The goals for this rack is bottom shelf 20L, next shelf up: 2 x 10gallon, next shelf up: undecided, next two shelves up: storage.

40 Breeder Plant Farm | Start Up

Yayy,

I'm gonna be starting a farm tank..

I figured I'd do a 40B instead of the 20L I planned..
(Leaves you no choice when the buddy sells you his New 40B for $20...)

Heres pictures of the construction!

Also, picked up approximately 40lbs of used, 2-3 months, worth of aquasoil for $30.. which gives me about 2-3inches in depth. thanks 'happi'

Not bad for the $50 for the tank and soil. :thumbsup:


soil added

good depth you say?

the equipment.. (5lb CO2 currently being filled).

 

[blazeyreef]

Finally Filled | 40B Farm Tank

So, finally got the 40B filled with water. Was a PITA trying to get the canister going, since it was level with the tank..
Still waiting for the call back on my 5lb to be filled at the shop and got a huge order from Han (h4n) coming in Wednesday.

Heres how the garden looks so far..

Thanks Han.

The crypts in 40B are Florida sunset, they seem to me losing the red/white in them as there submerged leaves take over.

Bee tank are S. Repens 049 and Bruce tank are just anubias Nanas
