Well it looks good, but yeah I know what you mean. I just built a new rack for neonates out of a Plano shelving unit and started work on a nicer one for the adult. It's always good to have extra room to work with as well.

LOL, well I'd like a nice one built so I could house my first ball in the living room instead of having her in a tub or tank but I still haven't gotten to that yet. I was thinking about just building a tank stand for an extra tank I have but I was worried about stressing her to much with the sounds etc from that room.
