Built My First Rack Setup
I decided to try my hand at build a small rack & tub setup to test out. I never used one before so this is a trial run for me. I'm housing my Blizzard Corn, Amel Corn and Hypo Brooksi Kingsnake with the bottom tub empty.
It's a simple design that holds (4) 41qt tubs and 4" flex watt for heat with a VE 300X2 thermostat. I boxed out the bottom of the rack and enclosed it with R13 insulation since its closest to the ground and has an air gap under it. Not sure if that was overkill, but I know it can't hurt. I also added 4 casters to make moving it easy.
Maybe some rack users can chime in. My tubs have no lids, but have a 1/8" space at the top. Do I need to drill holes in the tubs for air or will the open top plan be good enough?
