hey guys
My fishroom contains small tanks from 10 to 40 gallons and hopefully a 75 growout for my lungfish soon (plannng on getting her in a 125-180 as a long term home).
All of the tanks are on metal, store bought racks. I keep hearing people saying that wooden racks are much cheaper and custamizable and that sounds like exactly what i need. Save space since i can group tanks together and are much cheaper, only problem is, Im a 12 year old kid with little to no building experience. I dont mind having tanks laying side ways. I know this sounds weird but i kind of like the look of tanks side by side with only one side showing pretty neat and I almost prefer it over viewing from the front. i know that sounds quite odd. So I want to build one or 2 racks of 10s, a rack that can holds 20s and 15s, one that can hold 20 longs and 29s, maybe something that can hold 40 breeders, and a double rack for a 75. This is all long term kind of thing so Im in no rush and at the moment, I dont have the money to build this all at once. I basically want to know if these are too hard to build, how to build them, and if I should go with double or triple stacked tanks and the differenses in building beetween them. I dont mind having tanks that are 3' or less sideways but i dont particularly want a 4' 75 jutting out. I do my water changes with syphons, 5 gallon buckets, and a python water changer so i dont want anything that will be out of my reach if I stand on a step stool (Im 5'4").
Thanks for reading!
