My Future Shrimp Breeding Setup

[R_sustaita]

you could leave the particle boards if you covr them with some fiberglass which will make it stronger and water resistant.

Particle board and the humidity will be bad not to mentionspills. I would definitely get rid ofthe one on bottom; you might be ok if you paint the one on top. Looks like a nice setup you will have there.

Particle boards is a bad idea around any substantial volume of water.

I have the same rack. I split mine in two though, because I didn't like the possibility of it tipping over. I also upgraded the panels to some nice thick plywood that I watersealed. Its nice the water beads right up and is easy to control incase of the eventual spill.

Looking foward to seeing this thread develop.

That is a very nice looking rack , what are the dimensions and price if you don't mind me asking ?

Tim, Thanks for the recommendations on the rack. There were a few options for racks at Lowes, but I chose this one because it conceals the slots on the frame and had a cleaner look than the others. I have already bought plywood for two of the shelves. I will probably be keeping the particle board for the top and bottom shelves for now, since they will not be supporting any substantial weight.

I will be keeping and hopefully breeding CRS, CBS, OEBT, Painted Fire Red Neos, Orange Neos, and Yellow Neos. I will probably be keeping others as time goes by, I am just trying to be selective at this point.

Sounds like someone is going to be having fun...

what shrimp are you breeding?

Be sure to replace the particle board with something more substantial. Looks nice . . . and familiar.

I have a 40 breeder that I want to set up and did not want another tank stand, so I picked this up at Lowes (Shag carpet to set the mood for breeding )

I am not sure exactly what I want to do with it yet. My thoughts so far are 40 breeder planted display on one shelf. May be 4 10 gallons each on two other shelves or 2 55's with dividers for breeding. And will probably remove one of the shelves. I'm still throwing around ideas and will be taking it slow.
