Rack Em Up! Garage tank rack project
- Thread starter DMD123
- Start date
When I think of what I would do different in the fish room, I come up a few ideas. Since two of my tanks are custom (the 65B) they feature a thicker glass and have no center divider so everything about them is a breeze. I think if I were to redo it all I would like to order custom 4 foot tanks with no divider and have them 24" wide and 24" tall. This would make it easy to maintain. I would have to have made some custom racking but I do enjoy wood-working so no big deal. Was just one of those moments that I wish I would have done a few things differently.
YouTube video, so we can see them in action is needed now
Im getting close… working on my divider wall on the left side. Got the rolling rack all cleaned up and spun around. One I put a panel on the back it will feel more “finished”.
I generally had cut the one side out on fishroom pics because it was a bit messy. Decided to flip my storage rack to make a “wall”. But I wanted it to be a bit less garage like so of all things I covered the back with a shower curtain off Amazon. Not what I want as the ‘final’ look but content with the look at the moment.

I like the floor pillow, but offer another idea. I present, "the toddler chair":
In the garage environment, I would be tempted to use a rolling shop stool with a pneumatic or hydraulic adjustment. I can't use wheeled implements to sit on in my house as a grain or two of sand on the wheels does a number on the floor.
I love the toothbrush holder.

@John58Ford, The idea of a stool had been floating around for a bit. Dewalt makes one that matches my racking
I've been thinking about the same issue- how to get comfy in the fish room and enjoy it (rather than just work in it)- and last week I came up with this solution. The only problem is, this might be a bit too comfortable, as late last night I fell asleep sitting there with a cat on my lap and a glass of cognac in my hand.
