10 Gallon Aquarium Rack | DISASTER BARELY AVOIDED!!!

10 Gallon Aquarium Rack | DISASTER BARELY AVOIDED!!!
In this video I talk about 2 NEW 10 Gallon Aquarium Racks that I built for the new fish room. Between these two racks, they hold a total of 28 10 Gallon Aquariums!!! The main reason I wanted to make this video is to show you all the disaster I barely avoided by making a mistake when building these racks. Patience is key when building a fish room, and rushing almost cost me. WARNING!!! Beautiful Guppies and Endlers!

If you are planning on building a new rack don't rush yourself like I did! Patience is your friend in the aquarium hobby!!! If you missed my last video of the first look at the new fish room, check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZombY39jbKaHb7M

Just bought a bunch of wood myself to build a 10 gallon rack. Still in Lowe's for a while thinking about getting treated wood but my inner cheapskate won out and I got regular wood. I'm glad I did now I had no idea that could happen.

[@anthonyhendricks7377]

Great video!!! I'm in the process of building 10, and 20 gallon racks for guppy breeding. Your video has helped with my design.

[@Teabone3]

really epic setup, love it! I miss living in my old townhouse that had a basement. I'm now in an apartment so i have to be even extra careful with racks.

[@SynthToshi]

You are a huge inspiration to me, just ordered my first rack! Hope my channel can grow in your footsteps! Thank you so much! Much love ✌️

[@Anonyzerber]

Indeed a cautionary tale! Good content, nice stands! I'd add that most wood has the possibility to expand or contract when it experiences moisture changes; pressure treated or not. Hard or soft wood. Just like with installing wood floors you should acclimatize the wood you're using in the area it's going to reside. Depending on the difference of the moisture of the wood and the environment it could be several days or weeks to avoid such problems. I'd also add that when using pressure treated wood for outdoor projects it should also be acclimatized too. Where I am it's also stored outdoors at the big box hardware stores, so if it's been raining recently it's really going to benefit from some acclimatization time.

[@lisbettmartinez2019]

I’ve been wanting to build my own tank stand, this is going to save me a lot of hardship down the line for sure, thank you so much for sharing with us 🥰

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

No problem! Thanks for letting me know this is going to help you!!!

[@lurklingX]

wow that's NUTS! i never would have expected something like that, the treated lumber bowing.

[@peacefulaqua6221]

Your rack setup is very nice, I hope to one day have something similar once I have more space. Love the collectoritis haha

[@anthonycoates1604]

It’s coming along great!!! Good job dude.

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

Thanks buddy! I really appreciate it!

[@aquamate]

So glad to see you back my man, I think I may be building one of these racks reals soon, shhhhh

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

Do it!!!! I'm glad you watched the video. Dont make the same mistake I did. Cost me a little time and money haha

[@richardshen6404]

Thanks for the heads up 👍🏻

[@JC-tm3ok]

Very clean I really like how you hung the lights.

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

Thank you! Do you think it would be something worth covering in a video?

[@davidsamsell2031]

Very informative tips on treated vs non-treated lumber. Glad you were observant to catch the bowing earily. I like the configuration you have chosen and also the natural color of the aquarium racks. Am fairly new to the aquarium hobby, so I don't have any specific fish recommendations for you. Be safe & thanks for the video update.📺👍

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

I really like the natural look as well. I was planning on painting them black, but im happy I didn't.

[@xuttuh5260]

Nice Rack design, clean and tidy. Mind to share the exact dimensions of the lumber beams? Did you use different types of beams or just one for the complete rack?

[@sharronmiller451]

It looks good!! Pretty fish.

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

Thanks you!

[@ronaldoconnor2086]

Thank you For the important information!

[@HankHill1]

Thanks man!

Nice rack dude....super awesome video man....hopefully your aquariums are keeping you busy and sane like ours are....be well buddy 👊

[@linejudge9268]

Great video. I would love to see a video focused on that filtration system

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

Thats a good idea. Thanks!!!

[@RWAquariumPages]

What a great video once upon a time I was considered Treated lumber also

[@longnguyen6836]

Great setup Trying to convince the wife we can do something like yours 😂

[@newenglandendler]

that is a nice looking rack . if i built a rack like that id use untreated lumber , galvanized carriage bolts ,wood stain and clear coat. thanks for the vid

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

Well shit! I should of talked to you before building it sounds like haha!

[@lorrieotter5232]

Great video ❤️

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

Thank you 😎

[@SirKingHoff]

Im looking to set up my own rakc. Do you suggest just doing air pump sponge filters?

[@kasperkjrsgaard1447]

10 gallons are great, but I wouldn’t want to live without a couple of 20- or 40 gallons in the dimensions that fits in the aquarium stand.

[@stayplanted1093]

Beautiful set up!!

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

Thank you!

[@BlakesAquatics]

Nice video mate good tip

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

Thanks buddy! I've been going through a few videos on your channel. Really like what you're doing man. Keep up the good work!

@@OtterCreekAquatics Thanks mate appreciate that. maybe we can do something together one day 👍

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

For sure man! If you have Instagram send me a DM!

[@marco.1990]

Hello what size are the wooden beams you took?

[@Esoxluciouss11]

very informative-- ty.. what about a few tanks for corydoras, a few different types, breeding projects

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

Definitely! I have a few 20 gallon tanks with different corydoras species now, but I may grab a few more species to try out!

[@Esoxluciouss11]

@@OtterCreekAquatics what are u thinking of getting, tank set up, conditioning, breeding and rearing of fry for each lineage would cover a lot of videos.. Look forward to seeing your work in the future.

[@FRamirez1A]

What's the name of the plant with the big leafs that are coming out the tank? Thanks!!!!

[@sakthicon]

Thank You bro

[@bipolaraquatics]

Give me rack fever might need to build another rack soon

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

That was the goal hahaha! Do it!

[@timothypeters9436]

Maybe try turning The rack upside down and setting up a few tanks in the middle of it for a while see if it straightens out

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

I thought about that! I just used it for fire wood! We are a smores family!!! Hahahaa

[@r00tginger]

Whats that fish at 2:08 little dude rocking urban camo XD great setup bro

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

That’s a male Plakat betta

[@r00tginger]

@@OtterCreekAquatics thank you :)

[@juanwilson2390]

What are your measurements for the three 10 gallon racks? Wanna build one for my flowerhorn grow outs except I only wanna have two levels and have six 10 gallons.

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

Length (left to right) is 32" this will allow 3 10gallons side by side, depth (front to back) is 21" then height (top to bottom) is 20" Hope this helps!

[@juanwilson2390]

Otter Creek Aquatics awesome thanks a lot you are a life saver🙏😎

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

No problem good luck with the build!!!

[@juanwilson2390]

Otter Creek Aquatics thanks will keep you informed😎

[@brookebiddle6199]

Bro where do u get all of your fishtuber stickers I need some for my collection as well???

[@gustavosousa3478]

Man nice video. What kind of lumber do u use? The name of the wood?

[@richardrodgers2337]

Where'd you get the betta @2:07? Amazing fish.

[@elite_shadower_6057]

So I should sun out the lumber for a few days for it to be good before I build the rack?

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

If you are going to use treated, yes. But I'd just use regular

[@kasperkjrsgaard1447]

I’d use regular and for peace of mind either paint it or treat it with clear laquer.

[@alexathehuman]

Awesome work! What about pink guppies, like pink flamingos?

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

I have the pingu guppies which are pink and yellow, very beautiful! But I will look into pink flamingos

[@DansFish]

Playing musical fish tanks 😁 Looks great now!

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

I know right? When you think you have something the way you want it and then you have to turn around and start over...what a pain! I'm happy with it, and it gives me more of a reason to find new strains haha

[@kasperaquatics]

Kendall do you have any Shell Dwellers? I’m just about ready to start a colony and I’m needing about 3-4 pairs. This Quarantine is slowing me down in getting rid of all the Albino and Brown long fin Bristlenose plecos. Thanks.

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

No I don't man. But that is seriously what I want to do with my empty 40 breeder lol

[@kasperaquatics]

Otter Creek Aquatics, I think they will be an Awsome addition. I’m going to downsize to just 3 tanks and enjoy them.

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

What size tank are you using for the shell dwellers

[@kasperaquatics]

Kendall I’m using a 20 gallon Long. I also have a 40 breeder to upgrade to later if I decide to keep it going.

[@WONDERFULREPTILES]

NICE VIDEO

[@tbar5524]

what are the measurements between the shelfs.

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

I can't remember off the top of my head, and I'm at work right now. They are either 20 or 22in. I know I shot for 8-10 inch gap between the top of the tank and the bottom of the 2x4 above.

[@tbar5524]

thanks for the reply

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

No problem buddy. If you have any other questions about it just let me know!

Um, so your good with fish. Ever thing of attending a local construction workshop. Seems your stands are poorly built, glad you made a video, but your still arrogant..it's not my stand building it was the wood.....lol. Ok. Sure buddy.
