G'day
I put together my rack on the weekend with the help of a mate. Turned out really well. Made the tubs fit nice and snug to avoid the use of lids. Rack is run off two thermostats - these are simple on off thermostats (habistat), I may change these to pulse thermostats later down the line (easy switch over), but at the moment the tubs seems to be holding heat very well at the hot end. Getting a nice constant 32-32.5C. Each thermostat controls a heat cord each. We attached the top shelf for a bit of storage and to do 'work on' but this can easily be removed and more levels for tubs added if need be later down the track.
I got some aluminium tape from Jay car and taped down the heat cords that have been routed into the wood (two passes under each tub) to create a heat sink. The tape from Jay car is nice and thin and the boxes don't catch on the tape at all.
Rack holds 20x 7L tubs.
