EbiKen Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Made a promise.... made a challenge.... to complete the frame in 1 day of a rack that measured 161" across holding 21 tanks..... did I do it??? You be the judge of that....:bigsmile: Started by getting 40 pieces of 2"x4"x8' the day before and then got home and unloaded and got an early start on some much needed sleep.... OH and not to mention the day before we basically didn't sleep to have this ordered prepped to ship to Calgary... Today(Nov4th) at 3:30-4 a.m. I woke up and started cutting the wood to be prepped and brought to location to assembly.... Once almost finished cutting it was time to head to Home Depot to get some wood for the base and some boxes of deck screws! LOAD ER' UP! Once we reach location of where new system is to be installed.... we begin.... Darn those support legs..... such tedious angle screwing work... Finally.... And a drolling shot since the tanks aren't all in there yet since we need to install a central air and water system.... Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 If you ever come through Calgary, feel free to stop by and build a rack...LOL It'll take a lot of shrimp to fill that rack.....oh the possibilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooUrns! Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Very nice! I'd love to see some shots fo the air/HVAC system you're building. My fish room needs that kind of upgrade. How do you get into the car? It looks kind of tight for space.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jumpsmasher Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 If you ever come through Calgary, feel free to stop by and build a rack...LOL It'll take a lot of shrimp to fill that rack.....oh the possibilities. An even bigger challenge would be to build two racks in Calgary in one day. You know having more tanks would mean we would have to buy more shrimps.... jk But seriously, it is just a matter of time before Ron does his own take on the Ebi-Ken Shrimp Rack... :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 But seriously, it is just a matter of time before Ron does his own take on the Ebi-Ken Shrimp Rack... :P Nah, I'm actually thinking of going the other way and only keeping 5 or 6 types in bigger tanks. I would like to go to 48 or 65 gallons so maybe an ADA 90-P or 120-P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprucegruve Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) Very nice setup jump smasher. I have a question,do you plan on drilling any of these tanks for easier water changes? Edit- I re-read your post,you are doing a central water and air system Edited November 7, 2012 by Sprucegruve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He he he Edited November 7, 2012 by jumpsmasher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
