Harder to "sort" the babies, With my old lidded variety, I'd make stacks etc.



I used to have a bunch of pieces of plexiglass cut just slightly bigger than my tubs. I would pull a tub and then put a piece of plexi over the top and then stack the next tub on that.



Or you could just have a stack of lids handy.



Is that what you mean?



Harder to take them outside for natural light pics, again, I used to take stacks of tubs.



My previous idea would not work here - too risky. A stumble could be a real problem. Again, why not keep a stack of lids handy? I hate bending over to the bottom level of my racks so I often just have a taller slot for lids.



Otherwise, I really dislike "lidded" racks. It seems to take away some of the main advantages of a rack. The species I work with is pretty darn fast and I still prefer it.



Another thought I just had was to make the racks both lidded and make shims (with openings for the heat tape) to raise up those tubs I don't want to use the lids on. HMMMMM, may have just answered my own question.



I have built racks this way before. Not so I could use the lids, but so I could use any brand of tub and provide an air space. I had strips of various thickness hardboard laying around that I used to shim the tubs.
