I am thinking about setting up a few tanks in my basement for breeding pleco. I seen a nice storage rack at lowes that would hold 1500lbs per shelf. But kinda curious as to how others have theirs setup. If anyone out there has photos please share.
Multi tank setups? who has?

Various setups over the two years.... Same racks you probably saw. Works with 40 gallon tanks and 20's width-wise. Just make sure you support the center of the wood self if your tanks don't span the beams.
Current temporary setup.... used as holding tanks and breeding/growouts tanks. Different rack system that hold 48" wide tanks..... smaller footprint than the previous rack posted. (48" verses 77")

Wow outstanding set ups.
Do you find it difficult in Ca keeping tank temps where you want in garage or no big deal ?
Yes the first set of pictures is the same racks I was thinking about. Do they feel pretty sturdy with the load on them? Now that I see tanks on those racks I think they might work out perfect.
those racks look like the ones we have at work (lowes) throughout the store. they're strong as hell. where do you find them at?
I have the same Half Skid racks as posted above. I haven't assembled mine, but I assembled and setup tanks on several of them for a friends fishroom. Very sturdy. The box mine came in says each shelf is rated for 2000lbs not 1500 if I remember correctly. It's still in the Garage, I'll check sometime.
Also, note that you don't need to set each one up separately, as they connect to each other in sequence. My friend was supposed to contact the company to see if he could buy certain parts on their own also. Next time I see him I'll ask him what happened with that.
Bought mine for super cheap at Costco.

I seen the racks at lowes. Might also be found at home depot, not sure. Around where I am the racks are about $150 each. But they did have smaller racks that hold the same amount of weight for $90

Didn't know they could be setup in sequence. That will be a good thing to know if I decide to go that route with the racks.
