Racks for terrarium and aquarium

The rack for aquariums and terrariums is a sturdy metal structure, which as standard consists of a set of shelves and four racks that are connected with bolts or hooks. Additionally, models can contain braces and traverses to increase rigidity and reliability, which is important when housing animals.
The prefabricated steel rack for an aquarium has a number of advantages over wooden counterparts or conventional stands:

stable structure, in which the position of the shelves can be adjusted to the height of the aquariums;

the frame is easily disassembled and transported;
meets safety requirements.

To put aquariums and terrariums on the assembled rack, no additional napkins or stands are required. The main condition is that there is space for fresh air circulation and for maintenance, such as changing water or filling.
A terrarium and aquarium rack is not only needed in pet shops, it is also used in reptile breeding nurseries, zoos, offices, aquarists or at home. They can be used for keeping and breeding aquarium fish, turtles, Achatina, geckos, frogs, arachnids and snakes.

Which rack for an aquarium or terrarium to buy

Since the structure can be used both at home and in nurseries, choosing a metal rack for aquariums, you must consider:

the size of the shelves so that there is enough width and length to accommodate containers;
the thickness of the metal and the carrying capacity of the model, since the weight of one aquarium per 50 liters is about 60 kg.
the height of the structure, so that by placing several containers, they can be easily serviced.

If you plan to install large aquariums, you need to choose reinforced models with traverses and additional sheets of chipboard on the shelves, which will protect them from sagging. It is possible to attach lamps and various elements of the lighting system to the frame of the rack for terrariums. Choosing models with 6-8 shelves, you can provide a place for storing feed and various accessories, such as nets or gloves.

Where and how to install a rack for a terrarium and aquarium

To recreate the natural environment necessary for the life of pets, it is necessary to provide sufficient light, humidity and temperature. To do this, you can buy a ready-made terrarium, which will have everything you need, or make and fill it yourself by purchasing lamps, thermometers, fillers, driftwood, animal houses, etc.
Regardless of the type of terrarium, the question arises: where to place it so that it does not interfere, but at the same time fits harmoniously into the interior? The use of a rack allows you to place the terrarium in any part of the living room or premises, choosing proximity to a radiator or a window.

Partition racks with aquariums or terrariums are stable and reliable. They do not need to be fixed to the floor or wall. They can be placed on tiled, parquet or linoleum floors. To protect the flooring from damage or scratches, foot pads are fitted on the legs. Access to animals is preserved from all sides, since there are no back and side walls. Powder paint protects metal from corrosion in case of splashes.

Choosing which rack for terrariums to buy, you should give preference to the prefabricated version. It is compact and mobile. To assemble it, you do not need to use additional tools, the parts are easily connected with hooks or bolts. With multiple shelves that can be quickly added or removed, multiple aquariums or terrariums can be freely placed on it.
