Keith

I've seen solid (real ruler) 4" ones for $20 -$30, and 5-6" for $30 - $40 in this area. Just having trouble locating ...

Tank Rack

I was tempted to use that same type of rack shelving for setting up multiple tanks on, but I wasn't confident enough in their capacity claims. What size tanks are those you have on the racks and what weight does the rack claim it can handle? Any info would be most appreciated. -- Also on your very f...
