So, the most important of all: how did these fair to you in the long run?
Do you still use them? Have they supported the weight?
I imagine evaporation from the tanks wld become a issue
@@loganryan1317lol 😂
Hi there Jason. I got experience with those shelfs, sometimes the rivets that hold the shelfs, come off especially when you tap them to set them in place. You can drill the rivets out and replace them, with machined screws or other kind of fasteners; it will make the shelf stronger. Also, I didn't trust the second shelf on top, you could brace it with metal plates. A lot of people trust them, but me I couldn't sleep at night. Great video, good Luck.
For anyone planning on getting this rack now, I can confirm what other people already commented that my rack came with 4 connection pieces to hold the 2 halves together. Not sure if there are 2 versions of the rack or if some people got unlucky, but mine were included👍.
What exact model did u get
@@GabagoolFoolyes
I had to set the bottom tank in by myself, as I had emptied the tank to move it. Did it somehow. Like Cory. I made two stands out of one unit. and stacked 2, 40 gal breeders on each. So, stands for four tanks for only fifty or so bucks, Walmart. LOL I wasn't doing vids back then, but mine would have been to sad and funny to post. lol.
These shelves used to come with couplings that tied the top and bottom together, I bought the couplings separate because I didn’t trust it either. I only went two high also
I'm still rethinking
We bought a similar product from our local Home Depot. The 40B fit in extremely tight. I'm debating on building something out of 2x6's because we're in a rental home and the rank is pressing into the wood flooring. We still have one brand new 40B and the other half of the shelf system. We have one 40B on the lower part, with a 10 Gallon and 5 1/2 gallon on the top. We use our setup for breeding convict's. We're working out a mass production system for feeder convicts. May try ICB's outside next year.
I have one setup for my breeding tanks. I would highly suggest looking into this rack instead. I bought it at Sam's Club. It's a Members Mark 48"x 24" 5 shelf rack, 800lbs per shelf rack that has waterproof laminated shelves and does come with the couplers. $64.98 You can always use the extra 12" of width for storage and who couldn't use more storage. Mine is holding 2 rows with 4x 10 gallon tanks and 3x 20 gallon highs. If you do the math that's more than 3x 40 gallon breeders. Thanks for sharing and as always Do what you do if it works for you.
I think I'm going back to just building them my self
@@JadrenAquatics that's honestly the best way. That way you get exactly what you want.
I would never trust them. I’ve seen them in a friends fish room and they seemed very wobbly. I like my overbuilt 2x6 racks much more. Thanks Jason. 👍
Still no water in them so I'm still debating taking them down
2x6 racks? Tell me more.
I have some direct experience with these shelves. First - I would never stack more than two tanks in these, keeping them short and not using the multiple legs. Second - the legs are thin and can get twisted/warped to where they will no longer be stable. I would never install this on carpet or any wood floor - if there is a little give in your floor, this thing will warp over time under the weight of a 40B and that's a recipe for disaster.
Thanks for the review and you're certainly right not to trust this thing - stay awesome!
That's exactly why they are coming down. Thanks!
I knew it was too good to be true, I value your honest opinion Jason 😘 PS I must admit I loved pup running around lol !!!!!🙏
Lol she's my baby
Hey There Jason... I pray you had a Merry Christmas and have a Glorious New Year. You gave me my morning chuckle for the day. I chuckled because even after you saw Corry's video before you did it and Corry showed exactly what you ran into and I believe partly why he also only went two tall. I believe his was two wide and two tall with the same stand because he had more width to work with. As always thanks again for all that you do for us in the hobby. You are greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much that means a lot!
Great video - just found your channel. The set I purchased (from HD) came with little sleeve connector things that connected the two uprights rather than the horizontal pieces. Doesn't necessarily add a ton more stability but definitely made me feel more comfortable. Have 2 x 40s + 1 22 on the top due to height restrictions
Sounds better than what I had
Jason Reding do you have a pic of the one that you purchased from HD
I saw that video that Paul the inventory king did and the shelving looked really nice. Thanks Jason.
It works better if you don’t go triple tanks, not everyone enjoys that third tank on top that they can’t reach. Can set up two double high racks from the same shelf.
I know they are a pain in the tush to set up but we use them for our fish and lizards and absolutely love them we didn't go as high as you did either but they hold the weight just fine!
Ok
I put one of these together for my bride kind of like a pantry in out basement for extra stuff. I HATE the way the legs have to line up. My basement floor isn't perfectly level and I noticed issued at the point where they are supposed to line up. I did attach the rack to the wall that made it much sturdier. Peace of mind is VERY important if you aren't comfortable don't use it.
I've pretty much decided to take it down especially when I thought about how much my granddaughter comes out there
It fits like a glove I would build a wooden tank stand around the metal one for stability
I'm just going to take it down and build a wooden stand
We got a 4' 2nd hand tank years ago and the wooden base on it IMO was a disaster waiting to happen. IMO always trust you instinct cause usually right. If yours goes odds on it will cause a chain reaction and take other tanks with it. Also, being that high it will no doubt fail when some snotty nosed kid taps on the glass. It it has boxes and crap and it fails... meah. However if yours was to fail it's water, fish and glass... and probably electricity in the mix somewhere.
That's exactly why I took them down. Thanks!
Yup it’s a tight squeeze... I had two set ups like this. Bottom tanks are a pain and I never really enjoyed 😕
its looks good but having tanks that high is a problem when it comes to cleaning them and just too much mucking around on a ladder to get stuff in and out
Yea but I have about 15 tanks already that high so I'm used to it
I have eight of these shelves with three 40 breeders high setup for a year now. It's no more difficult than a different way.
@@teddybonkers3580 I ended up taking mine down
@@JadrenAquatics. U took off the top tank because it was too tall? Or u took the whole thing down?
Hey, Jadren and viewers. I was really excited about the 40 gallon breeder shelf meme until I watched this video. After that I went back to the drawing board. I heard good things about Gladiator shelves like their 4-Tier welded steel (60 in. W x 72 in. H x 18 in. D) unit and got excited all over again since it should also be the right size for a 40 breeder. However, I've since learned that at least Marineland 40Bs are actually 18 (9/32)" wide. Does that make them too big to store on an 18 inch rack?
i have this rack, wouldnt trust 3 40 gallons on it, maybe 2, its such thin metal
Wish I had seen your video a few months ago. I ran into the very same issues. Especially the janky verticles. I don't trust them either and took them down and put them for storage in the garage.
Exactly where mine still are
@@JadrenAquatics I got the same shelfs three wks ago for my breeder burms...I have three shelfs per tank
I've been spending weeks looking for a shelf for my tanks. I'm still concerned for which to choose. I'm no handy man to build my own. Wonder if anyone knows of any that are actually good. I dont plan to use a top shelf for a 5 teir
Cinder blocks and 2x4s. Easy and super strong!
That’s weird, I have a shelf that’s basically the same as this but black and it has couplers that join the vertical pole things together so it’s much sturdier than yours looks
I've heard from multiple people that they have the couplers too but for some reason my did not come with them.
They look great but I see what you mean about the connections I think as long as you tighten them real tight you'll be just fine! Your used to see your heavy duty wood stands that look so much stronger,it was fun watching you do that build I was thinking about the fingers.🤗✌🌿🍃
LOL! If you are a 63 year old single woman with just your basic hammer, screwdrivers, and cordless drill - these stands are an option. I found that if the tank does not sit on metal edges though, you need to throw out the Masonite and get some plywood cut to replace it. The stand will hold the weight, but the Masonite won't.
Yea the outside of the tank basically rest right where the metal rails are
I have 3 40's on 3 of these separate racks. I used the other shelves to reinforce the shaky part. Still better than the stands at petco or petsmart. And even better because I didn't have to build.
Love the building video bud...can wait till u move that wall
Baby steps lol
Looks good and a great price.
I bought this same product too. Was not happy either. The brackets would not slide all the way down into the slot. I think they where poorly cut and the paint was too thick. Even with some decent tapping/hammering with a mallet I could not get them to rest. Considering the tight space the tank would be in..... if the weight of the tank once full caused one of the corners to slide down and finally rest, it would almost certainly cause the tank to twist due to its own weight or put alot of pressure on one point. Therefore almost certainly guaranteeing it to either crack or shatter.
I just bought another from wal-mart too, same company basically, Edsal, just with brand name and the tank wouldn't even fit pas the brackets. IT did have a piece tho to join the legs together instead of relying on the brackets to join them.
Pretty frustrated at this point. I've bought like three so far and they all have the same crummy, bad manufacturing problems.
How did you make out with them? Are they still in use? Have you had any issues?
@@RoccosVideos not for fish tanks I took it down immediately. Has paper on it now
For just a little more money you could have gotten serious industrial shelving with 1-piece uprights.
John Terpack from where
I was gonna say, drop a brand, a carrier, or a link. I'm interested!
Good judgement 👍👍👍👍👍
I have a rack like that but I doubled up the middle part of the legs where they meet in the middle because I didn’t trust it. I have leopard gecko tanks
I have one like that, but i am really affraid to put water in.
The shelf looks really nice. Hopefully you won't run into any problems that would require you to tear down any tanks. Question; are the shelves themselves made of metal or wood (the part the tanks are resting on)? I've seen similar shelves that have metal frames but wooden shelves, some even have cheap particle board which would warp and come apart when they get wet. Thanks for posting this vid, Jason!
Particle board lol but it sets on metal rails
why didn’t you just get a 4ft long shelf for a 3ft tank?
I bought this same one for the simple fact that Cory had it and then simply betta got and used it. Now when I bought this I had plans of putting other tanks on the shelfs as well. I also have a 40 breeder, 2 30 talls, and 20 long. Also 4 tens. Some of these I had planned on stacking. The shelfs that came with this are complete junk. You can't get it wet at all and bows horribly with the weight evenly distributed.
Dude! You are missing the connectors!!!! It works great with them!!!
Is that something you buy separately because mine only came with the pieces that hold the shelves in place.
Jadren Aquatics Hi! you can buy the couplers separately but I think you got the cheap model. Go to the Inventoryking youtube chanel and find the video "These racks are unbreakable", run the video a bit and Paul shows the model and the specs. This is the model I got and it is super stable!!!
@@JadrenAquatics I noticed this as well. I have 5 of these set up in my garage for storage. There is a connector that makes the legs very stable and beefy. They came with mine. I'm not sure why they weren't in your kit.
Where did buy yours?
@@JadrenAquatics Home depot sells them for sure. They are 80 bucks if you buy the ones that hold 800lbs per shelf. They are an Edsal product.
Great informal vid man! But I wanna see more of that beautiful lady in the back 😍
Thank you for sharing this
I would have to anchor that thing to the wall before I even considered stacking 3 40s on there.
I got this same shelf but I have two 10 gallons and a 20 gallon. I came here because I live on the second floor, but I seen this and had to see how this went with three 40 gallons.
Hey! How does your shelving unit handle the weight? I’m in need of a shelf for a 15 gallon (only) and a extra shelved for plants
@@JenniferKira I wouldn't add more than a 40 gallon on the bottom, no more than a 25 in the middle and no more than a 20 at the top. Its sturdy but I wouldnt put too much faith in it with larger tanks. It holds up well with small tanks.
Matthew Peters-Nahnee oh awesome! Thank you 😊 maybe in the future I’ll add my 20G to the bottom and 10G to the top, thank you!
Take a look at IKEA's Bror Shelf system . 🇸🇪
Your surprise. It's module so it can be72 tall or half height
Thank You, Sir.
i want this shelf so bad for my tanks and i would honestly buy it if it were like 2 inches wider and 2 inches deeper... imma have to keep looking. ugh
There's lots of different sizes.
So? did you use it?
@@robinsonsaez3476 no I took it down
I've considered getting something like this. What is the shelf board made of? Particle board? I'd be worried about water damage to it, unless sealed or covered.
Yes it's particle board but I think the way it sits on the rails it will not effect the wood much
How do you think it’d work if I just did a 40 on the bottom, 29 on the next shelf, 20 long on top?
I don’t have a use for racks, just need to make effective use of space in my room lol.
That would fine just limit the weight on the top sexton
That is not the way the top corner posts go on, there should be slip in connectors for them...
how is it doing now days
the shelf
@@dizzlerizzle2775 I took it down days later because I did not trust it
@@JadrenAquatics ok thanks
@@JadrenAquatics do you have any other pre built racks to recomend, i think the one you did would be fine for 2 tanks tho
🤣 the ending 🤣
I used these once, and I had a twenty gallon tank in two racks and I didint even trust that. I got rid of the stand after two months
Two months? Surely if something would've happened by now if something was going to happen.
Wouldn't trust those myself just look so flimsy and the way they go together would make me very nervous lol
yo lfc lets goooooo
I got the same shelf and my tank goes almost all the way in and then stops and doesn’t fit what do I do
Slide the tank in from the open top , down thru the four corners , then put the next shelve in
Hmmmmmmm... I can use one of these at work... for work related things - ugh!
JUST BOUGHT A RACK FOR MY TANKS.YOUR RIGHT ID DEFINITELY NOT BUY ONE OF THOSE UNLESS YOUR PUTTING NANO TANKS ON IT.PLENTY OF UNITS OUT THERE TO CHOISE FROM AT THE MOMENT 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
I am currently building my fish room and I am so far looking at shelving units for my 20 gallon highs. Any recommendations for shelves?
Okay those are small and flimsy, I was afraid of using these shelves I’ve got but I’m gonna put em up
Would a 40 gallon breeder on a 48 in by 24 in rack like this work? I just picked one up and now I'm nervous because the weight won't be exactly evenly distributed across the shelf. It's a heavier duty rack, but I'm still apprehensive.
If the sections are kept separated, would this be good for a 20Long on each or would there not be enough direct support?
AS of building this now and getting 20 longs, i can tell you that its going to be a tight fit, but it can be done, just be ready to play Tetris and really get in there for water changes
So did you stick with 3 shelves ? Is it still holding up until now?
No tore it down immediately for safety
That stand suck I have in my garage but I will not put to much weight on them. For my fish room I bought the Home Depot rack and welded it back to make it the size I need then added 3/4 plywood. Your rack have particleboard which went it get wet will break. Sorry take it down!
I have no welding skills lol
can i use it for a 29 gallon? 30x12 dimension... i dont think it will sit in the side metal railing
I'm not sure I would think it would fit
I'm using one of these for a 20g long (30×12) as well... Fits just fine👍
So are you still using that metal rack?
No I took it down the next day
this isnt the same shelf as the inventoryking vid
Yes exact same one
Except it isn't the same one that Corey used like you stated. That model is different and no longer sold... That model Had an extra layer of metal that covered the holes in the legs for a much more finished look in residences. I know because i have that rack, end its not this one.
I bought the Muscle Rack shelving unit from Lowes this weekend anticipating being able to house (3) 10 gallon tanks on the bottom two shelves and a 20 gallon long on the top. I am very nervous about the fact that the two brackets that are upright are what holds up the second half of this unit. Has anyone considered having the two pieces of metal soldered together?
For a reptile 40g breeder that has a screen top that goes over the top edges of the tank would it even fit in here on the bottom shelf or is the shelf frame to close together to be able to open & close the top?
God bless you.
just get the titan eze double stand from foster and smith
Hi, will it be safe for glass tanks
Leave them as 4 tank setups. 2x 2 tanks.
Do you still use this stand?
Timberrrrrrrr
This doesn't really help someone who doesn't have the ability to build their own stand.
It helps you make the choice to not buy this brand. Thanks
Shelves, not "shelfs".
you saved me money. thank you. not buying this stand
Glad I could help
I'm scared after that
Lol me too
Use the bottom rack for a sump?
Good idea
Your missing pieces for it
Water + particle board = disaster!
I don't think I'd trust it either👍
Will they be fine for just 2 10g fish tank only?
Yes
naah-
