![EASY Double Stand for 40 Gallon Breeder Tanks [DIY]](/img/n.gif)
You're actually supposed to use a rubber mallet (or a hammer wrapped in a rag) to tap the rivets down into the slots.
thanks for mentioning this! a couple viewers already mentioned this in the comments and I only put it together for the video. I took it apart right after since i didn't have the aquariums yet at that time.
Can’t even tell you how happy I am to have come across this video.
😁😁😁 glad you liked it!
Oh hell yes. My geckos are gonna be livin large now, the stand is the only thing that was holding me back and you just solved it. Thank you!
You're welcome!
You think this would be safe to use on a 40 gallon breeder being used as a turtle tank??
Hey, I'm a new fishkeker. I have A40B and I was wondering. How is that stand holding up for you? And are you still using it?
Shouldve hit the bracings to lock in, P.s ppl they sell these at walmart for 60
Yup I ended up using a mallet my second time around putting this rack together. I initially thought it was slip on, but then a viewer commented and mentioned the hammering process and it was definitely more secure 👍
What was the name of that rack? I've been looking can't find any
I posted some info on it in one of the comments
Great a video. What are the dimensions on the stand?
Its 36in x 18in x 72in, perfect fit for the 40 gallon aqueon breeder tanks. Literally fits like a glove
I've seen a depot rack that is supposed to hold 2000lbs.
Ummm, it is indeed a perfect fit, but there is a tiny distance between the board to the aquarium. I assume the weight of the water will make it flush??? Or it’ll be a disaster if it’s not even sitting on the edges. Suggestion??
I personally have mine set up the way it is for a very long time without worry. Even moved this whole setup to a new location and set it up again with no worry and still running the setup as is
If you believe the rack is not safe I would suggest looking for a new solution for a aquarium rack. You can build one out of wood for a safer result
I have a specific corner which this stand is perfect. I ended up buying a thicker board, with some mallet smashing, it worked. Turns out to be expensive though, $200+. Nontheless it’s perfect!
What's the link or name of the racks so I can buy them please
I dont see the exact model on Home Depots website, but when I search up the part number theres one that looks exactly like mine with the same specs but different name. Search "ur-185wgb" on home depot and you'll see it. ur-185wgb is the vendor item number for the exact rack thats in this video
Have the boards deteriorated any from tank evaporation
Nope, still good. I recently moved this setup to my new fish room and the boards were still as good as new.
Can you post the link to the actual shelves you used?

Bryan La Thank you! Great video btw 😊
@@motherofaxolotls2222 no problem, and thanks!!
Are the shelves partical board? And did you add the braces for added support?
I didnt add anything or modify these shelves in any way. The shelves seem to be thin wood, but these tanks are supported by the corners and what holds these tanks up in place is the metal frame of the rack. The wood is just there for extra support? It's too thin to support the tank alone but I just left it on
@@BryanLa I just got the same shelf for my 40 breeder and I went to Home Depot and had them cut me pieces of plywood the same size as the particle board. Heard that particle board and water don't mix, in case of spills.
@@jordynchan5103 that's an awesome idea!
@@BryanLa I am also setting up a 40 breeder goldfish tank too! Well I already have the goldfish but they've outgrown their 30 gallon.
Ahh nice! 40b is perfect for goldfish
what is the shelf material ? Is it wood or something? Enough to hold 20-30 gallons
It’s holding up my 40 just fine, the tank really sits on the metal shelf, the wood is just there as extra support on the edges. I wouldn’t put any tank smaller on this stand
@@BryanLa I understand what you mean. If you put smaller aquarium, it may bends after a while. I will go metal rack and shelf than.
Can you make 2 racks out of it?
yup! it comes with enough for two separate racks!
How is the rack holding up 2 years later?
I’m still using the same rack, I even moved it to a new location. Boards and rack is just as good as day 1
Nice vid bro👌🏻👌🏻 just followed u on ig
Thank you! Now I gota post more 😂
Lmfao yooo I have same one. You can make 3 shelves. If you going to use it the way you got it now put the other wood on top of the other. They don't come with extra parts bro. Lmfao good luck 🤞
Ahh I was thinking about that when I put it together, but I might set up another rack with the other parts 🤔
Have you had any problems with it
Nope, still hanging in there.
@@BryanLa I sadly cant find it in stores anymore and online it's around $120 sadly but I still might get it
Ah dang. I think it’s still worth it tho
How much was the rack,
It was about $50
@@BryanLa wow... Petco has the sale right now
@@jesse0M yea! I think it lasts a week but I could be wrong
@@BryanLa I checked home depot and saw this rack or one similar, it was 24 inches in length and 36 inches in width at the price of $80
Are all 40 gallon breeder the same dimensions?
Yea all 40B should be 36x18x16. The rack is a perfect fit for the tanks and should slip in no problem.
Finally found someone with video of the same thing I'm researching. How are they holding up? Is water an issue with particle board?
I'm about to officially jump off into crazed fish nerd territory with moving from my 1 10gal on a "real" shelf into a rack system to have room for growth. I assume I'll have 3-5 tanks before long.
yo!! thanks for reaching out, I appreciate it. the rack is holding up good and surprisingly enough, the water isn't really an issue for my setup. I've spilled water on them, overflowed the tank on them, and just regular daily exposure to aquarium stuff. nothing noticeable yet. But... I will note that if you use something other than a 40b (the perfect tank to fit in these racks), I would switch out the boards with something more sturdy. The tank actually sits on the metal portion of the rack, and the particle board is just there. if you put any tank on just the board it self and it's not touching the metal rim, it will crash through. out of the box, I would only put a 40 gallon breeder on this rack. anything else (smaller or bigger) the rack will need to be modified.
@@BryanLa Awesome, thanks for the report and advice! Glad to hear the overall system is working out, I'm probably getting some kind of rack/shelving this weekend.
I'm likely going to look for one of the metal shelf ones, then throw some (possibly water treated) plywood (Not particle) on top since I AM indeed looking for a variety of size tanks.
Nice!! And no problem at all
Got a link to the rack?
I don't see the exact model on Home Depots website, but when I search up the part number there's one that looks exactly like mine with the same specs but different name. Search "ur-185wgb" on home depot and you'll see it. ur-185wgb is the vendor item number for the exact rack that's in this video
@@BryanLa that one doesnt work. inside dimensions are smaller than outside circumference of tank
@@mathewhunt81I just checked on Home Depot’s website and it looks like the same model I have, same dimensions and everything. I’ll show you guys the box for the rack that I have on my next video upload. Hopefully that helps
Dope vids
Thank you!
Make a vid on your goldfish set up
@@manansala2oh1 will do! Hopefully I get my 40s soon as one of those 40s will be for my goldfish
Thats a cool little setup i like the drop down view of the fancies. What kind of container is it?
@@manansala2oh1 theyre in one of those Brute Rubbermaid trash bins lol. Not the best sounding, but theyre holding up haha
What type of legs are those, Incase I ask a Lowes employee 😅
Ask for "industrial racks" , the name is called muscle rack. Check online and they might list out what aisle the item might be at in your store
