Another change was to take lower middle 20L tank out and swap it for Fluval Flex 32.5. Essentially another bowfront but different than the upper one.
Hey, Nice Rack! Lets see them...

Water change day photo. Love this set up in the garage since the utility sink is on the other side and I can do all my stuff pretty quickly
Doing these 6 tanks is faster than doing my single 300 in the living room… if you haven’t noticed, I love my taller tanks, lol
Also am a bit embarrassed by all the messy wiring, been working on that too. Zip tied up a bunch of stuff. Much better looking now than these updates are showing

I went ahead and ordered one with some Dewalt leveling feet as my floor is fairly unlevel. I am putting it in my living room and will likely get some kind of skirt to hide the industrial look. If it works well, I will go ahead and order two more to round out the setup for my (3) 75G's and use the lower shelf as storage. If not, I can always use it in my garage as storage. 
Unfortunately, the dewalt is too tall and bangs into my existing shelving. I found another rack option at menards (xtreme garage) that seems to be able to handle the weight, but the dimensions on it are 36" tall, 48" long and only 17" deep. When I look at the 75G tank it claims 18.5" deep and the black plastic starts at maybe 17.5" and goes on out to 18.5". Wonder if maybe some 2x4" or 4x4" would be strong enough to hold it. Not sure it would be worth chancing.
Yeah, the metal racks are not really meant to do tanks, thats why I had to customize A LOT to do this.
For fun latest pic of the fishroom racks
The most major of changes was tucking light fixtures on bottom tanks up into the racking instead of directly on the tank and now I see I still need to clean up my wiring, lol
A bit of an update to the fishroom. Decided to sell the Fluval Flex 32.5 and replace it with a standard 40B. One of the main reasons was that I wanted a more useful footprint and uniformity in equipment. This 40B has an Aquaclear 110 on it and now that is the only filter I run on all the garage tanks. I have spare parts on hand and can swap stuff around as needed.
No real plans for anything in the 40B, likely will keep it as a hospital or quarantine tank for the time being. Looking for a change of stock in the 300 so this will allow me to QT whatever new fish I decide upon.
