They look like the wire shelves I got at wal-mart.

I got those particular shelves at ACE Hardware. They are the 48 inch wide ones and are black in color. They also were on sale! I think you can get wire rack shelves just about everywhere. These hold 350 pounds per shelf.

After putting some tanks on the rack I decided to cut and fit some MDF sheets to fit inside the wire rack perimeter and corner posts. This allowed the shelves to sit better and certainly makes it much easier to slide the tanks on and off if needed.

Very cool Mike. I just bought a five foot wide rack for my frog closet. As soon as I get it all set up Ill post a picture. I went from a four foot to a five foot to give more room for larger tanks and better spacing.

Cheri, where did you get a 5ft rack? I can only find 4footers.

It is not the typical wire rack. It is an industrial shelving unit. I got a used unit for $85 from a shelving supply company. It comes with five shelves. The extra foot gives me just a little more flexability on tank size. This will allow me to get ten good size tanks on the one rack. I'm trying to keep all tanks on one rack in the frog closet.

Gotcha. A 5' rack would be nice though. I could fit two 29gal on one shelf. And 5 ten verts on a shelf. a guy can dream lol
