Looks like a TVR nursery to me.

I've got some green trays I'll be trying soon.

Great idea and inexpensive too! I am wondering like one of the questions on the guppy site though - I would worry that the tubs would slip off from the water weight and fall. Let us know if it needs support underneath. Carolyn

Shelves are cheap... Why risk it.

LOL

my thoughts exactly. those shelves will come down when loaded up.

vertical wood too thin. single screw attachment point. no diagonal braces and no attachment to the wall means this thing can scissor collapse to the side or simply fall forward—could be really dangerous if fully loaded.

i am sure yours would be built correctly David.

2,000 pounds per shelf should do it!
