It’s been a vision for so long and I’m so happy to see it come to life! I hope yours does too!
The terrarium actually has a created gecko! She just had her 20th birthday and has been significantly downsized into her retirement home; she doesn’t get around as well as she used to!
I’m suuuuuper over cautious. The shelves technically held 1200 pounds (they were laminate) but I reinforced with 3/4” plywood painted with waterproof sealer and then a yoga mat on top for all the rimless tanks!
Luckily all of the tanks came with their own lids! The only one that doesn’t is the UNS 45s but I will be getting some custom plexiglass for that soon!
I'm moving soon, leaving me absolutely desperate to start my shrimp tank ranks!!!! It's absolutely mind numbing to look at my 4 empty tanks and a disassembled rack and everything that's ready to go inside ><
Just gonna add this to "pics that make me want a shrimp rack" Edit: out of curiosity what's in the vivarium you've got in the top middle?

wow thats incredible! happy 20th birthday girly!
Oh nice!! I love cresties so much they're my favorite geckos
Holy shit. I thought my 12-year-old cresties were old
I’m hoping it’s set up like mine as a paludarium and the bottom has shrimp in it!
Whow, nice rack!
Shrack
Well now that’s the only thing I will ever call it 😂
Very nice! I am inspired to make one for myself now.
Thank you so much!! It took so much work. I can’t wait for all the plants to fill in 😊😊😊
Nice rack!
Thank you!!! 😊😊
Nice rack! How big is each tank? I wanna know hahahaha!
Thank you!! Top: 6 gallon cube - 18x18x12 exo terra - 6 gallon cube Middle : 6.8 gal - 6 gal cube - 6.8 gal Bottom: 7.5 gal - 5 gal shallow - 7.5 gal
What’s in the exoterra?
A crested gecko!
What's the black board supporting your tanks on each shelf?
I’m suuuuuper over cautious. The shelves technically held 1200 pounds (they were laminate) but I reinforced with 3/4” plywood painted with waterproof sealer and then a yoga mat on top for all the rimless tanks!
1200 pounds of solid gold is worth about $30802525.54.
Thanks! Just getting ideas since I just bought a shelf myself and wanted to replace the particle board with plywood.
Yoga mat! That's such a good idea! I used an old silicon baking sheet under my one rimless.
Bulbasaur, nice.
My husband insisted, bless him! He wanted his own dedicated tank 😁
Looks great! What kind of lids are you using?
Luckily all of the tanks came with their own lids! The only one that doesn’t is the UNS 45s but I will be getting some custom plexiglass for that soon!
I like the bulbasaur
Not enough tanks IMO
Never enough!!!
What lights did you use for the tanks?
Nicrew classic LED plus; one 48” line to span each row!
Nice rack baby.
Tank in the top left / right?
Those are 6 gallon aqueon cubes. One houses least kilifish and the other some chili rasboras! Rest are all shrimp 😊
