interesting, so what is the benefit of having this type UGF for shrimp?

:) It did cross my mind, but I'm in a rental house right now and that would be a pain to tear down and set up again.

lol man I love putting them holes in tanks

It looks really nice so far!! Can't wait to see the completed setup. How many tanks are you planning to have on it in total?

Not sure yet. So far, I will have the 40 breeder up top and I will probably do a 55 partitioned into 4 parts on the bottom. I have 2X10 gallons for the middle shelf so far and thinking of adding 2 more. Not sure if I want to use the 10 gallons or do something else on the middle shelf. If I put a bigger tank on the middle shelf, I will probably put the 10 gallons up top for quarantine tanks.

i would use cherry stain on the plywood then coat it with polyurethane to waterproof it that would make it look real nice imo

I was trying to keep the industrial look of the shelves, so I just sanded and used Thompson's Water Seal. The plywood is birch, so it has a nice grain to it.

Put another shelf in and threw a 10 gallon on it to try to figure out what combination of tanks I want. Just waiting on the bottom shelf to dry and then will be finished for today. I should have the 40 flooded by next weekend.

Plywood Sealed, 2 of the shelves placed and screwed into place. 40 Breeder up top with lights mounted. Still need to mount the other 2 shelves. 3 bags of ADA Amazonia, 4 liters of Seachem Matrix, and Eheim 2215 should be here Thursday. I have the plumbing complete for the under gravel filter(will post pics of plumbing later)

so fish tanks make good work stands LOL )

Thats what it looks like to me ! Use what you got .

A single piece of 3/4 inch plywood on each level should be strong enough to hold the wait .
