help with fish room

[monsterberry]

Ok so not been here for a while but im back so hey everyone the new forum skins cool.

Ok so i am in the process of moving my fish room into another room but im going to make proper racking all around the room the bigger racks are going to hold tanks on 3 rows the smaller tanks im thinking of about racks with 5 rows.

Now i have 16x 7.8ft x 4" planks of wood so im wondering whats the best design for making the racks simply i have access to a circular saw and im planing on nailing it together mainly because my drills crap.

Im thinking of covering the shelvs with chip to suport the tanks well.

and advice, design ideas would be greatly apriceated

thanks all

A drill would work alot better, and be easier IMO. Maybe borrow one?

thanks for the reply so ill buy one tomorow no problem but im quite clueless to design for the racks i have done alot of DIY and have made a few ply aquariums with pond paint but designing the rack im finding quite hard maby because it has to hold all the tanks and not collapse lol

thanks all

I'm also quite cluless when it comes to that, i'd say, be sure to have strong braces in the top, bottom and sides ..
