I would like to find a design made of 2x4's and 2x2's that also explains how set up a 5 gal. bucket auto waterer.
thanks

www.kingsnake.com/obsoleta/projects.htm

That site gave me the basic plans for my first version of my racks.. and i modified his plans to fit whatever sized tub ive build racks around ever since.

best of luck

Thanks that is an awsome design!!!!

its still not setup all the way with the auto watering system..

and im in the process of building a rigid PVC watering system, im not a huge fan of that 5/16" flex line junk.. too easy to cut/move/disconnect.. so ive worked out a design using 1/2" PVC.. should work so much better

ill be sure to post pics once i get it all setup and working.

makes life soooo much easier.

so how much does an auto watering system cost for a 35-40 pan rack ?

www.agselect.com has all you'll need. My total cost was just about 100 bucks to water 16 tubs. Well worth it, 16 water bottles would have costed around 80 or so, and those are no way near as nice.

Best of luck.

if you go with the standard 5/16" flex line.. a 30-40 tub rack could be several hundred dollars to outfit ..

on the other hand i just setup a 1/2" PVC setup w/ dual sipper valves per tub (10 tubs / 20 sippers) and it cost me a whopping $66.00 LOL.. (that includes the 2-5 gallon buckets w/lids, all the PVC parts/connectors and pipe, the pvc glue/cleaner, the sipper valves, and lunch for myself LMAO )... setup running off dual 5 gallon buckets.. it'll be nice once the stupid sippers get here

i wont have to worry about kinked lines, chewed lines, bumping the lines.. this thing is rigid and tough..

And we are going to want to see it!

Thanks in advance for another great sounding idea, Dan.
