    I can loan you my fish totes to hold them while you break down and move the tanks.

    Give yourself at least 8" of clearance above the tanks, 10" is better though.

    Home made racks save so much room and money. Kids growing up and getting their own room.

    The guy I bought my house from had a workbench setup in the garage with a shelf about 20inches below the top so I have converted that to the beginning of my rack. It works well because It saves space and I spend all my time in the garage. Would love to see pics once you build your racks.
