Reddit mentions: The best storage drawer units

A lot of us made mistakes starting out, but what's important is we learn from our mistakes, take the advice given, and improve the quality of life for our little buddies. I also understand having too small a space for a really big tank, but a 5g or even a 5.5g is really NOT that big... as reference, I originally had 3.5g tanks (the TopFin Enchant) for my bois with lots of water quality maintenance, but recently switched over to 5.5g tanks (TopFin Essentials kit) which fit in the EXACT same places the old 3.5g tanks fit (after doing a bit of cleaning and moving of stuff that didn't actually need to be there on the tabletop or simply sliding them over a bit). The tanks are just a bit more longer, around 16 inches long, but if you think about it, that's really not that bad and will fit fine on most nightstands or side-tables / end-tables or whatnot. I actually wish I had made the switch sooner. I see a NOTICEABLE difference in how much more active my bettas are now with the slightly larger tanks, even though they were quite active in the 3.5g tanks.

Do keep in mind that a filled 5g tank will weigh around 40 lb, and a 5.5g will weigh around 45 lb, so whatever you choose to keep them on should be able to support that amount of weight without collapsing (don't let that discourage you from getting the proper size tank though, just make sure to find sturdy furniture to keep them on :) and all will be well).

Here's some possible sturdy yet small shelfs/tables which will fit a 5.5g tank:

https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-3-Shelf-Shelving-Unit-Black/dp/B01LWP8AL2/ (it says each shelf can support up to 250 lb). The only thing I would add (although optional, but would provide better support for the tank) is a sturdy but thin plank of wood to the top shelf surface for the tank to sit on top.

https://www.amazon.com/RooLee-Tables-Living-Vintage-Storage/dp/B07LC9F89R (another option that looks very sturdy, and would be amazing as a 5.5g aquarium stand, but costs more)

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TLLSN5R/ (somewhat costly but looks great and sturdy)

I got some pretty good baking swag this year.

First up was a Kopykake. I will be making disgusting amounts of cookies over the next year putting this thing to the test.

A KitchenAid Architect was shocked to see it was the full set as these are stupid expensive.

Possibly my favorite gift for kitchen stuff this year was DrawerDecor which has finally made my drawers a non clusterfuck.

Steel prep table similar to this but not this model. Got it before Christmas but was told it was an early xmas gift.

Wire Shelving similar to this, but again not this model. Its 4' wide and each shelf can take 600. It freed up SO much room for me. I highly recommend more shelving for any of you guys/gals who have the room for it.

18" Magnetic Knife Strip, again more stuff out of shelves, off of counter tops etc.

Glass mixing bowls

Last but certainly not least, I finally got this cookie sheet from chicago metallic. Such a nice piece.


Now I think it is worth noting that I bake for a living, and that most people don't actually want a prep table or a 3' tall projector in their kitchen but damnit I love it! :)

The main theme for this xmas seems to be helping me get my kitchen to the OCD level needed in a professional kitchen. Not sure the missus loves the strict flow of kitchen as much as I do but man, it feels good and looks great.

Here is a run down that should be helpful:

• My Figure Collection is the main site for keeping track of your collection and also looking up figures
  
  
• Nyaa Figurines and Neko Magic are good for checking on new releases
  
  
• The most popular case is the Ikea Detolf. As for bookcases/shelves, I would recommend these: Simpli Home Ladder Shelf, Winsome Wood Wide Shelf, Winsome Wood Narrow Shelf, and Furinno Corner Shelf
  
  
• The Ikea Dioder LED lights are popular for lighting the cases, but I prefer these LED lights as they are stronger and cool white (even the multi-color Ikea Dioder doesn't do a true cool white)
  
  
• The most popular scale figure companies are Good Smile Company (GSC), Alter, Max Factory, FREEing, and Kotobukiya; STAY AWARY FROM GRIFFON FIGURES!
  
  
• I would recommend pre-ordering from AmiAmi, HLJ, or Hobby Search
  
  
• For ordering already released figures, you can check the above sites and also Mandrake, Plamoya, and NY
  
  
• If you can't find a figure on an English site, you can either use a proxy service or forwarding service to order from Japanese sites. Proxy services buy the item and then ship it to you. Forwarding services is where you buy the item and have it shipped to them and then they will forward it on; useful for sites that won't ship outside Japan. Big in Japan is good for these services.
  
  
• As for wall scrolls, I would recommend staying away from eBay and Amazon, these are usually not official wall scrolls and the quality is a lot lower. I've actually been making my own wall scrolls and using this Custom Wall Scroll site to have them made. The print and material quality is really good and this way you can get the exact wall scroll you want.

A rabbit that's well cared for can live over 10 years. My husband's old rabbit lived to 11. Rabbits play but not like cats or dogs. They are more just do their own thing kinda pets, but if you socialzie well they will cuddle with you and will love pets and scratches. Mine will lay right next to my leg and lick me while I pet them. Playing for them is more just chewing twigs, baskets, and wood toys, sometimes tossing things around.

Rabbits will be pretty clean if you litter train and do upkeep of their living area on the regular, as well as brush them when they are shedding. Though there are always a few stray poops on the floor, usually because they stick to their feet when they jump out. Also if I get lazy and don't clean the box as often as I should they let me know by peeing outside of it.

Their diet should be primarily timothy hay, 2nd cut is best. I reccomend not buying from a pet shop, because their hay is first cut and is mostly inedible sticks. If you get a good 2nd cut hay, I get here https://www.sweetmeadowfarm.com/animal-food-and-hay/timothy.html in a 35lb box and it last my two a couple of months, and they like it much more, plus it's cheaper. Then an adult rabbit that's about 6lbs gets about 1-2 cups daily of dark leafy greens like kale, collar greens, dandelion, romaine etc, and an occasional bit of pepper, a small bit of fruit, or a radish. They also get 1/4 cup pellets a day between the two.

One thing about rabbits is that commercial cages are no good unless they spend most of the day running around. Mine actually are free run in one room, I just gate off things they shouldn't go up to. If you do plan to cage though I recommend building your own from wire cube shelving like this shows http://www.therabbithouse.com/indoor/rabbit-cages-cubes.asp

You can customize those in an infinite amount of ways. Also I find with normal size rabbits, ramps aren't needed. I reccomend you buy these if you do http://www.amazon.com/Safco-Products-5279BL-Storage-Black/dp/B000789RSQ because they are good quality and come with great little connectors that are great for doors.

Also forgot to mention that one big thing about rabbits is that they are very reactant to stress. A small stressor like too much noise or a sudden temperature change can make them sick. So you have to work hard to reduce stress. If a rabbit stops eating it is an emergency. Last year it got too warm in their room and both got GI stasis and I spend $1000 fixing them up. Just a heads up.

I just thought I would share my gunroom converted from an extra bedroom for anyone out there looking for some inspiration. I’ll try to provide a full breakdown for anybody that needs some more things to put on their Christmas list this year.

The Sturdy Safe was the best and most budget-friendly safe option I could find. It’s not the prettiest but it doesn’t need to be for my purposes. This is the 1148-6 model without fire liner and the #2 standard rack that fits 60 long guns.

You definitely will want some sort of lighting system for your safe. I rigged up some LED strip lights from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005EHHLD8/) and used a staple gun to secure them to the underside of the shelves. It could be done a lot neater if you want to cut and solder the LEDs but this way still looks fine when you’re looking at it from standing height. The precut hole in the back of the safe is not very big so I bought a electric outlet, box and wire from the hardware store and rigged up an electric outlet inside the safe. Some type of switch for the lights would be nice but as of right now I just plug and unplug it from the wall.

I keep an extra gun cabinet next to the safe with a couple shotguns that are beyond repair and some cheap air guns. I figure a “smash-and-grab” type thief might go for the easiest target so it creates a little diversion. A Foscam IP camera and a dedicated motion-sensor connected to the alarm give me additional peace of mind.

The work-bench is just an old IKEA desk I was no longer using. It’s not the most sturdy but it does the job.

If you’re looking for ammo storage I’ve been very happy with these Whitmor shelves from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007MHD1K/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). Each shelf holds up to 350 pounds, it was easy to set up, and they seem to be very sturdy.

These ClosetMaid shelves would be perfect for your space!

They have little hooks that hook onto the shelf that’s at the top of the closet (they’re flexible so they can hook onto the bars even if they’re an odd width apart), and then they can also hook onto each other.

We currently have four of them hanging from the top wire shelf in our closet (one from the shelf itself, then three more extending down below that), and they’re great for open-front storage that’s easy to see and access. Ours our being used for clothes right now. I have them set up so that the side walls are vertical and not on an angle, but you’ve got options.

Just roughly eyeballing your space from the picture, it looks like you should be able to fit two rows of the hanging shelves side by side, if you wanted to (they’re 17” wide).

I’ve taken the ones I’ve got with me through the last four moves; most places have some type of wire shelving, so they’d be useful beyond just your current apartment. They can take a lot of weight (in one place I had them stacked four deep holding bottles of liquids, and they didn’t bend or break at all), and they nest neatly inside each other in a standard size moving box when it’s time to move.

There’s also a link on the Home Depot page to a similar type of hanging shelf that’s 24” wide, but it looks like it doesn’t have real side walls/a back wall. The ones I linked that we use are like baskets, so they’d be great for the papers/books/binders/office supplies you mentioned.

ETA: Looks like they’re a little more than $3 cheaper per piece on Amazon. The fourth picture on the Amazon listing is how we have ours set up, only with additional baskets below it.

I’ve only ever grown with artificial lights (unique living situation) so here’s some I can personally vouch for and recommend.

Sansi bulbs. I have the 24W model (fits in any standard desk lamp) and the 15W lights. These have special lenses that focus the beam very strongly in one spot, like a spotlight so it can be raised pretty high and cover a large-ish area. Don’t underestimate these, I put a plant too close to center and it turned jet black in 2 days. He bounced back just fine but these are definitely strong.

Strip lights. I’ve since upgraded my Sansi’s to these with a dedicated shelf. These aren’t as strong, I talked to a user on r/Succulents that reported haw etiolation 9 inches away from the light. However, once she lowered it to 5 inches they said they get amazing stress coloration. To put it in perspective, they said they had a Black Prince that’s always been green but has since gone black like the plant’s supposed to be.
As a bonus, here are the shelves I use, they are exactly the same dimensions as the lights.

Both are very capable depending on your needs.

Edit 11/26/19: Sooo, the strip lights have shot up to $200 for some reason. When I linked them, they were only $49. It’s either a stock issue or the new price, not sure.

A 2N2222 doesn't have nearly enough power handling for a heater. You'll need a power transistor probably in a TO-3 package with heatsink minimally to come close to 50W.


HOWEVER: You will want to do some thermal calculations first to make sure that 50W is even enough heating capacity. This involves calculating the volume of air and dough you are heating, estimating the heat capacity/specific heat of each, estimating the temperatures inside and outside the chamber, estimating heat losses and then sizing the heating element to that. Maybe 50W is enough. But maybe not.
I'd be surprised if it's enough.

If you use a fan, that's another heat transfer calculation to make.

You can teach yourself Heat Transfer (pdf) but it's not a walk in the park because this is a ME/ChemE subject rather than typically EE (it's VERY useful for EEs to learn heat transfer and thermodynamics BTW - if you have a chance, definitely take these as electives if they interest you - very useful).

The thing is you are not just heating the surface of the resistor (which is what that temperature spec is) but you are transferring an excess heat to the surroundings, and then hopefully to the dough.

So you need far more heat than what is required to heat the resistor, and heat = energy = wattage x time. That heat has to transfer from the resistance by primarily conduction to the air and then from the air to the dough. It's substantially less than 100% efficient.

You may end up needing more heat that 50W can provide. Then you'll want to go to 120VAC line voltage to run a heater. That would require an SSR (solid state relay) to switch the AC on and off plus a controller to drive it. That could be a microcontroller, with a temperature sensor.

Or it could be a commercial controller. Omega is the "easy, fast path to solution" for this kind of thing. You can find cheaper but they are a one-stop-shop online (e.g. they have good online support/training)

Honestly this is why I'd buy a proofing oven instead of DIY but that's just me. My buddy makes sour dough all the time - he uses the linked oven for his sour dough bread. Classic "Build or Buy" decision.

As many have said, Baskets that are clear or where you can put a label would work well for miscellaneous items and items that group well together like sauces. I would use a can dispenser like this one since you have the room. If it was me I would definitely get a few roll out trays for a few of the lower shelves, that is if you can. It would make getting to the things in the back easier, specially for items you use almost daily. Clear stack-able containers are great for seeing what you have, I see you have one clear bin, those are good for pulling out things like spices and sauces. They make it easy for pulling out and putting back when your done.

​

I spent the last several months looking for a place to buy and I will tell you what I looked for and plan to do.

Ramps are important, most places have small steps that abled body people don't notice but it's a pain for some in a wheelchair to get over every day.

Carpet is a pain in the ass to roll on, stick with hard wood or concrete.

Bathroom doors are never wide enough and usually the bathroom as a whole is to cramped.

Walk in showers without doors are great.

^^^ is expensive but great in kitchens (I will gladly take a few of these if someone would buy them for me 🥳)

Front load washer and dryer, not stacked and on a pedestal, much easier to use.

Smaller handheld vacuums like the battery powered Dyson are much easier to use. I also plan on getting a Roomba because I'm lazy like that.

I also decided to get a lot of home automation stuff because it makes things much easier. Example: Google home or Alexa, smart light bulbs or switches, ring doorbell, smart deadbolt.

Other than that I just think little adaptive equipment here and there.

Edit addition: fridge with a bottom freezer and water filter within reach is super helpful to.

Pretty easy and straight forward. Very easy to set up. I had built a wood rack but felt this would be easier and more upgradable. It takes up very little room and it adjustable without cutting a single thing! Just check the dimensions for what will suit your needs. Mine is 36" wide and accommodates 2x systems on top and possibly 2x more systems on the bottom. Here are some links for the part links below. I went with the black one since it had a lower chance of conductivity. I made sure to put some fitting cardboard under the mobo just in case. I used twisty ties to hold the cards up which worked great. Could use some thing Zip-Ties if you know how you want it and can leave it. I had to move mine around a bit so the twisty ties were easier.

I don't have a setup for travel yet. Thought I do have one of these cool rolling carts! And one of these rolling carts, too. I got them to carry my supplies and wares for craft sales, but haven't used them in a while (and i don't remember them being that expensive, maybe they were on sale...). Super handy though.

Though, the couple of times I've had to take a small amount of wire and tools with me somewhere, I've just put tools in one gallon sized ziplock bag, and the wire in another, then tossed them into a bigger cloth bag to carry.

Here's what my crafting wall looks like at the moment. It's in disarray, but better than it was! :) The pegboard was going to be thrown out at work, so I saved it. There is a lot of space that I could use that is covered up by the desk, but I didn't want to cover up the window. And yes, there's a makeshift cat bed on the top shelf. I knew I wouldn't be able to make the shelves without her having something to lie on, because she would have climbed up there and just knocked everything off anyway. the shelving is made out of this modular shelving stuff, but with zip ties not the connectors it comes with.

This is just the stuff I use regularly. I have a whole room full of supplies I either bought myself or inherited from my mom.

I was just looking to buy something similar, because I moved and my new kitchen is too cold for anything to ferment properly in a timely fashion. I am trying to also make filmjolk, which needs room temperature, and would also like to make Quark, which needs a different temperature entirely that yogurt or kefir.

I have two yogurt makers that are too hot, so currently trying to figure out a way to use them without anything actually touching the too warm base.

​

Basically, I'd buy this if:

1. I can set the temperature digitally anywhere between 20C to 50C and also set an auto-timer
   
2. The top is expandable so I can use a higher jar
   
3. The base is large enough for at least two large jars
   
   I would not buy it if it was set on one temp setting and only for kefir. Multi-use, as others stated, is key here, as that would allow me to justify getting yet another appliance by donating my current yoghurt makers.
   
   ​
   
   I have this in my amazon shopping cart, this should give you some great ideas: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MEEH0SE/ I love the collapsible design , the size, the fact that you can add shelves and the temp settings. I dislike the price and that it isn't very pretty to look at. Yours is awesome because it would also keep things cool in the summer time, though I find I have less of a need for that. Consistent heat is more what I personally need.

Another good option is to just make yourself a little 4-6" shelf with some plywood and spare boards and set your monitor on that.

Or if you want the glorious machine easier to see, buy one of these. It's what I use and it looks great and makes the case easy to access.

I use 2x4 basics attachments. They hook right into pre-cut 2x4s and are incredibly adjustable so they can be as high or as wide as you want. For a sharp, clean look you can paint them yourself.

Not the fanciest solution, but it works great thanks to how easy they are to assemble and customize sizes!

Why are your speakers dancing near the ceiling? Speakers are ideally at ear level while seated or standing if that is where you are listing from.

We have several shelves like these. They are adjustable and strong. We generally have Rubbermaid bins down at the bottom (I like the clear ones because then you can see what's in them). Apartment kitchens are terrible, so we put one in the dining area (it runs right up next to the counter) and put our pots and pans and appliances there (blender, microwave, etc.). It doesn't look great, but it frees up counter space.

All the closets have large bins at the bottom for storage. I think you could store toys, out-of-season clothes, and such in those.

Near the door, there's a shoe rack/shelf for all our shoes. There's also a small wire shelving unit for miscellaneous things, like mail that needs to be sorted and dog walking stuff. You could probably get a sturdier one based on your family's needs (like if you wanted to put the kids school stuff there) but the goal would be to keep all of the similar things in the same spot.

Underneath the sinks in the bathroom and kitchen, there are organizational shelves. Ours were built in but something like this or this might help out.

I have 2 of these:
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00CL9204C/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I simply cut out some cardboard to put on the wire as to not cause potential damage to the games (even though I'm pretty sure they won't as the "wires" are pretty close together.

These shelves are pretty damn sturdy, easy to put together and easily hold enough weight to stack on as many boardgames that will fit.

I don't know what country you are from but if you are in the US I've looked up different ways and these organizers can look nice if you are creative and add lighting to them from what some people have shown me

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CHCLN4B/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_6?smid=A2QMH4UKDFN4Y&psc=1

There's also the Amazon shelf it's not at good as Detolf since it doesn't encase the figures but it's pretty cheap

https://www.amazon.com/Convenience-Concepts-5-Tier-Glass-Tower/dp/B01GVP6506/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=glass+display+case&qid=1556994898&s=gateway&sr=8-5

Have you considered something like a metro rack? I use one similar to this that I purchased from Lowes and it's a lifesaver. It is super sturdy, tall, the shelves are pretty standard sized so I can add more if I need, and I have plenty of room to zip tie lights to mine.

A pack of these guys.

Granted, I'm only feeding two and it sounds like you need a lot bigger bins. But yeah, stackable bins. Maybe one of these too. Like so.

Or, if you're trying to make it look pretty (or like there's no "pet junk" there at all), try getting a piece of furniture like an armoire and storing everything in bins in there, like so or like so.

Hell yeah man. Not stupid at all. You should be proud of this space! And you fucking Tetris-ed the fuck out of that couch back there so be even more proud!

If I could suggest one thing, look into getting a little bookshelf for your pc and PS4. We have similar setups and I got a bookshelf to hold my PS4 and PC and it fits that case perfectly (fractal define r4?). Here is the link to [amazon](Winsome Wood 3-Shelf Wide Shelving Unit, Espresso https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000NPTXNW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_K9iTybACJ6ZQ2)

Anyway, great setup and enjoy the space!

I just got these, and they've worked great for starting fall stuff(still too hot to seed them outside where I live) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WDJFQUK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

​

I just zip tied them to a cheap wire shelf https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CL9204C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 , all my greens/lettuce/peas etc came up great with it.

​

Only have 2 lights in it atm, but it honestly feels like plenty to get started.

Best thing I could find (10.7 x 18.4 x 8)

The only thing I would worry about is the little ones chewing on the coating, this size should cover 1/3 long ways.

Also you may be able to use the hooks on this not only as a stand but you could make very small holes and hook it to add even more room.

However if this doesn't work, you could add adhesive hooks so you can use cage hooking items like this

If the hooks aren't what you want then you can add items like these:

Best Option

Wooden Balcony

Platform

Platform and Swing

Platform and Swing - The Squeequel

I really hope this will help you and the little ones out!

Edit: Forgot to add this one

Many people push against buying storage for items "when you could just downsize further", but I think you could really benefit from one of those cubby storage units (like a bookshelf, but square cubbies instead of shelves). We have one and those cloth cubes that unfold from a flat state to become "drawers", and odds and ends can be places into labeled Ziploc bags and whatnot and easily stored out of sight. Amazon (yes, I know, Jeff Bezos is the Antichrist) makes these units that, while not terribly attractive, come in pieces and can be assembled. Maybe worth considering!

super hard to find shelves on amazon when looking for a specific size, judging by comments here these aren't too bad

I am looking to start growing as well and think I may head to a real store and try to save 20-30 bucks on an in store sale.

$94.99 for the racks here, saves you $13/rack https://www.amazon.com/BestOffice-Wire-Shelving-Unit-Heavy/dp/B019GNRJPU/ref=pd_cp_196_1/136-6914250-4405500?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B019GNRJPU&pd_rd_r=fa7d27d5-0f83-4b35-b261-11039a1d7607&pd_rd_w=eqX9E&pd_rd_wg=jRQqc&pf_rd_p=ef4dc990-a9ca-4945-ae0b-f8d549198ed6&pf_rd_r=C6ZS1F0B4NF4KB5TVE2S&psc=1&refRID=C6ZS1F0B4NF4KB5TVE2S


If you're willing to (and have the tools already/not having to buy them), you could always build your racks from wood. Using basic 2x4's you could do it pretty cheap.


Check FB marketplace or craigslist or whatever it is you have up there for used shop lights. I got 5 for $20 like new.


good luck!

I have these and find them pretty good. They are a little bit of a pain to put together but shouldn't be particularly difficult if you have more than one person working on it. Also, their corners are a little sharp, but this kind of thing would probably fix that problem. The shelves are huge and hold a ton of weight securely. Also, if you plan on getting more than one, I suggest also getting black zip ties to connect adjacent units together for increased stability.

If you think you could go with something a little more expensive, IKEA has some nice board game shelves.

after struggling with not enough space available for my way too many tabletop and few keyed devices i have decided a wireframe shelving unit on wheels is the answer!

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019GNRJPU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

4 feet wide and 18" deep this is plenty of room for lots of gear that has been hobbled together. can even fit both my analog submixer (fostex model 812) and my digital mixer/interface (korg08) next to each other! :)

man i am actually really excited to get this as it's been such a hassle to arrange and re-arrange gear for different sessions...finally will have real estate for my SCI sixtrak!

the other key for me is i have 4-5 angled tabletop shelves which will work fine for optimizing the ergonomic angles on certain pieces...wire shelving should be friendly for routing audio and power as well!

the sad thing is i have 3-4 keyboard stands and use none becuase it's 1-2 levels with no room for any gear underneath...

my studio is seriously 9' x 9' of "usable space"

My professional opinion is CRAP that place is huge! A bit too huge to get all over sound coverage with a $500 budget.

Does it need to be all over?? Is there going to be a preferred area in a corner or something?

Like Calinet6 said your going to have insane reverb in there. Normally you take care of this with sound reinforcement and a ton of speakers playing softly as opposed to two or four blasting at full volume.

I think your best bet is to get some sort of rolling cart and put all your equipment on it. Then just roll it to where you want the music. It could even have speakers fire in all directions. Still this would require you to plug it in where ever you are to 110V. Sort of like an insane $500 rolling boom box. You may even be able to get some sort of stereo imaging if you positioned the speakers right.

That Behringer Cal linked is rated highly so it is a good recommendation.

You then just need a pair of nice loud speakers(this is sold EACH!). These may not be as tough as outdoor speakers or commercial but you can cover them or roll them into a corner closet for storage if the weather got real bad.

Cart $57

AMP $199

SKR $280

It would be great if the budget could fit a down-firing subwoofer but alas it cannot.

I wouldn't worry too much about input switching. An ipod or a cheap Netbook with a cheap usb Dac would hold all the music in the world. I am sure you have that part already.

EDIT: Just thought I would say. This sort of mobile system is much more likely to be "removed from the premises without permission" then a permanent mounted system. Just keep that in mind.

Super cute lamps! I've been eyeing a set that look like the legs on surveying instruments <cute nerdgasm>. Do you have a bread proofer? I got DH this one, which work fabulously! You can even add a little tray of water to it, for humidity control.

My goal was to get my cables off the ground. I don't have a picture at the moment, but I took a square wire panel from a shelving set like this: http://www.amazon.com/Safco-Products-Storage-Black-5279BL/dp/B000789RSQ and fastened it to the bottom of my desk with zip ties. Then I attached the power strip and bundles of cable to the wire panel and made it look all neat. This way none of the cables are visible unless you go under the desk. That's my method and I'm sure everyone has different methods. But again, my goal was to bundle up my cables and get them off the floor.

Amazon! Here you go! Glad to enable another succulent addict. :) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GGMG5KY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (It looks like they're out of the large version at the moment. )

Before building some, I used to use wire shelves like these:

https://www.amazon.com/Seville-Classics-UltraZinc-5-Shelf-Shelving/dp/B00CL9204C/

If the aesthetic isn't an issue for you (personally I think they look better than Walmart crap), they are great for holding lots of heavy books. I used to stack them 2 deep with hardcovers. Seville Classics sells some plastic covers to put on the shelves for small items, or you can figure something out yourself, masonite etc.

I bought these. They have many sizes. Seville Classics Pull-Out Sliding... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y2N6J2Z?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Friends of mine have some made of wood.
Good luck!

Spend 20bucks on this can hold 2 rigs pretty easy. You're welcome.

They're ok. They were super cheap on amazon a while ago, around $30. They're around $60 now so they're not as good of a deal as they were. I'd buy them used for sure!

The shelving is by Costway: https://www.amazon.com/COSTWAY-Utility-Bathroom-Display-Organizer/dp/B07BP1B61Y

​

I realized that you can order the shelves however you like so I took a little liberty to get everything to fit!

This:

Steel wire, holds up to 300 lbs, and most importantly, the shelves won't bend under under all your Kickstarter rewards and BGG promos. I ordered three and I'm glad I did.

A shelving unit like that or the rubbermaid ones.

I know it seems weird, but hear me out. We live in a smallish apartment, two adults and a kid. We have an outdoor storage closet and a living room closet. Well, we live in Florida, not a lot of need for lots of coats. So we got a metal shelving unit that fits into our living room closet and it has become a pantry since we have a TINY kitchen with almost no space.

The outdoor storage closet on our patio was useless as is, but with the rubbermaid shelves, we have SO MUCH STUFF in there that we use, but can't store inside. My husband's tools, my gardening stuff for my few flowers, and the like are all in there along with some gaming stuff of my husband's for miniature painting that he wants to get back into.

Apartments suck on storage, the shelves have been a godsend!

My stepson and I would have fun with these

I have a bunch of other types of shelves, but if I had gotten this one first, I would have stuck with this type of shelving. It holds a lot and the lights fit perfectly.

Happy to see this thread! CCW as this is my first attempt at a winter set up.

Lights:

7700K white LED panels

5000k bulb in a reflector clamp


Hardware:

Shelf. It's great for hanging the LED panels since I don't have a drill, but the smaller pots tip over easily on the wire rack.

Props are being lit by an old/cheap purple LED panel.

https://i.imgur.com/CuByg9S.jpg (just brought these inside for the winter)

Not sure how to light the Agave and Sempervivums that I just brought in. The only window in my apartment is a west facing slider that opens to a covered patio, so I don't get a lot of light inside.

I also grew cat grass for my pumpkin loaf so he wouldn't munch on the succulents.

Check Amazon. They have a ton of stackable plant stands, both wire and wood. I have this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BP1B61Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_6MWQBbHZNHV8Q

I can vouch for the above one. Looks good, and is decently strong. Mine is currently holding about 40 6-inch terracotta pots.

I don't know what others think about it, but if you're in the market for an early Christmas present to yourself, I love my Brod & Taylor Folding Proofer.

Cant access the link but googled the name, i found these which look like they have adjustable shelves. Much cheaper this way and i can just put the fans on a the upper shelves above the GPUs like you did with your fans.

This the rack you have? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004BDP692/ref=oh_details_o04_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I got the same thing. Pretty good quality for the price.

Just a heads up, but the 40g is 50% off rather than $1/gallon this time around. I believe it's at $45 rather than $40 so no biggie.

I use this stand for my 40g and its been working out well. The wood is pretty flimsy, but as a rimmed tank all the weight sits on the edges anyway which is where it's reinforced. I have the same CO2 system as well and it's been working really well. Unfortunately I have nothing to compare it with, but I've had no issues with it for the last 4 months.

You got it my friend!

Also, I have an old space heater/fan combo that I intend to use when the temperature starts to drop. I plan to automate it with one of the Sonoff Wifi switches and control it with the Sonoff temp sensor.

Watched a few youtube videos to get a high level knowledge. Checked amazon to get a rough idea of costs, Went to a local hydroponic store, asked for help and they helped me pick out the nutrient solution, ph balancer, stakes, tube etc. Bought the rest off of amazon. Read the instructions on the bottle. I'm sure there are better ways of doing things but this worked for me.

This is the stand I got, good build quality, adjustable spiked feet, and rubber washers between shelves to help dampen vibration.

I'm in the process of setting up my garage and was wondering if I should get a sawhorse or would I just be better off getting something like the following.

Or even building a basic workbench myself.

I've been looking at these guys lately for shelving. I haven't fired on it yet, but the reviews look good:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0030T1BGK/ref=s9_acsd_hps_bw_c_x_2

I'm not sure honestly, but that looks like it would work!

How would I shim a stand that's just and edsal shelf like this? I just moved and had to put my 40gal directly on the floor because the previous stand got damaged (and wasn't very good in the first place). The floor here is extremely uneven. The left and right side are off by over half and inch and the front and back are off by about a half an inch so I know I absolutely have to get this fixed ASAP. With it being off by so much, what's the safest way to shim the stand and even things up?

Alternately, would it be better to try a cinder block stand? Looking at the edsal shelves, I'm not sure my screentop lid would fit since the stand would be exactly 36" long with a very snug fit for the tank itself.

I'm just going to build my own. You just need to buy some 1"x1" wood and nail/glue it together. Or if you don't want to build it just go with wire shelving like this. People zip tie the mobo on the shelf and hang the gpus from the underside of the shelf.

I store my pans using hooks on a metal rack:

http://www.amazon.com/Whitmor-6060-322-Supreme-4-Tier-Shelving/dp/B0007MHD1K/

The hooks are the ones I use... but I got my rack from Costco. Gives a nice place to put up pans out of the way when you're done with them.

I use these: Whitmor Supreme 4-Tier Shelving with Adjustable Shelves and Leveling Feet Chrome https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0007MHD1K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_iRqVAbMB5FT87

They look like standard industrial shelving. They are used often in restaurants. Amazon has it as well. If you have a restaurant supply store in your area, check there.

Also, if for some reason that doesn't work the name of the item is "Whitmor 6070-3437 Supreme 3-Tier Shelving, Black".

It's a few sets of C&C grids. They're marketed as shelves, but as you can see you can arrange them in any way you like! Linky link

Thank you! The shelves, owl pots, and tiny pink and white pot are all from Amazon; the other pots are just from my local hardware store. These shelves: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GGMG5KY/

I use something similar to this. It's very nice.

I had mine sitting on wire shelves like this and still went through 4 of them. It ain't our fault MS built a POS.

//happy PS3 owner now

Absolutely not what OP used, but a similar concept, is this type of shelf. I've had my eye on them for like 6 months but my windows are frosted and I'm not sure if they'd stick!

I made it from IKEA solid wood countertop and legs from a Pangea stand. I believe IKEA has switched their wood to oak from the birch that I used on my stand. Here is the original stand Pangea Vulcan Audio Rack

I've been thinking of picking up a 40 gallon breeder in the current Petco sale, and I was wonder what people use for tank stands? I've read about people using something like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006941Z6E/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

...but I'm afraid it might be too flimsy with putting just one tank on it.

You've got a few options for deep cabinets...depending what's in each cabinet usually you may want to choose a few of these.

1- You could add tiers to the shelves, so that things in the back are raised up a few inches. (Great for flour/sugar/spices/etc)

2- You could get turntables, basically like mini-lazy-susans so you can rotate things to the front/back (great for oils/vinegars/cans/etc)

3- You could convert the shelves into drawers you can pull out (probably only if your cabinets are VERY deep, and not too tall)

4- You could install pull downs (like this sort of thing: https://www.amazon.com/Rev-Shelf-5PD-24CRN-Pull-Down-Shelving/dp/B0009EP2S2)

We patched up a couple of gaps in the fence with this stuff while our puppy was tiny (he can't get through the gaps anymore now anyway) http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B000789RSQ?pc_redir=1414537736&robot_redir=1 I think it's easier to get hold of in the US than here, and cheaper too. The grids are 14" square, fix them on with cable ties or rope or something.

Easiest solution possible: buy these

What makes those great is that you only need straight cuts and some screws and you can build the whole thing in an hour or two.

edit: Sorry. If you use the Shelflinks, I'd stain before assembly, but after cutting. Then use polyurethane over the stain.

Maybe you're thinking of something like this:

Metal part can be called a wire grid panel or wire cube shelving system. The connectors are just called plastic cube connectors. Here is a link for them on Amazon, maybe you can see if they ship to Bulgaria https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B000789RSQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1479925708&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=Wire+cube+system&dpPl=1&dpID=51qz0xFPfyL&ref=plSrch

This might work for you. I haven't tried it for fermentation, but it does have precise temp settings, and you don't have to immerse anything in water. I proof bread in it and have begun using it instead of a slow cooker because it's so convenient to just use my stainless steel stockpot instead of maneuvering the crockpot insert in and out of its cradle.

The 52-page manual and accompanying recipe book are online, so you can take a look for yourself and see if it might meet your needs.

I've seen people on thefreshloaf use light bulbs in Tupperware containers.

Else, if you don't end up DIYing, Brod and Taylor makes a collapsible proofer

Shelves and macrame hold my collection together. I got the shelf on Amazon here .

My window is east facing, so it gets decent light without roasting the leaves too badly. I have a shelf with a grow light right near the window as well, so I'm sure they get some ambient light from that.

I have a small storage room that I leave the light on all day and it stays between 80-85.

They also make proofing boxes to maintain that temp.

You can just leave it at room temp too. I just left it on the counter in the beginning. We keep our house at 72.

Models with a 4000 lbs total or 800 lb per shelf capacity can hold 40 gallon breeders. I've kept 4 breeders (stacked 2 high) on this shelf without issue.

The model you linked is available on Amazon with a 5000 lb total capacity.

There are similar looking shelves with about 250 lb per shelf capacity, which I wouldn't trust to hold any aquariums.

Costco, Office Max, Staples, Amazon have some really nice shelf units.

This is the type I like. Each shelf holds 300 pounds. You can place the shelves at any level, but unfortunately it doesn't look like you can get additional shelves. I've used this type at work and they are sturdy and dependable.

No, I have them on this shelf:

I lived in a little potting shed for a year, it was chilly, but fine. All you need is a 5 gallon bucket and one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Emergency-Bucket-Portable-Toilet-Standard/dp/B004KLY5CE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1414046370&sr=8-1&keywords=bucket+toilets and a 5 gallon water container that you fill up at the spigot every day or so http://www.amazon.com/Coleman-Water-Carrier-5-Gallon-Blue/dp/B00168PI4S/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1414046409&sr=8-5&keywords=5+gallon+water+bottle a bowl and a sponge and you're set up for a make-shift sink/ sponge bath...

Haven't you ever been camping? If you are homeless and broke and someone is offering you a warm, dry place to sleep why are you wasting time freaking out about building a loft? That looks like about 300 sq feet of space there and you'll be able to set up a basic "camp kitchen" and sleeping area NO PROBLEM. Get a WARM sleeping bag and a mattress to insulate you from the floor because baseboard heat is going to be EXPENSIVE. If you can't shower at the gym or at a friend's place, get a solar shower and a big pot and heat water on a camp stove and fill the bag that way. You need a place to prepare food: camp stove/microwave/folding table/minimal cooking and eating utensils. A place to sleep: floor mat/warm sleeping bag a place to bathe: a friend's place or a camp shower setup. A place to toilet: fast food restaurants/a friend's house/a camp toilet setup. A place to store clothes: fold neatly on the floor/get some cheap shelves like thishttp://www.amazon.com/Safco-Products-Storage-Black-5279BL/dp/B000789RSQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1414046914&sr=8-2&keywords=grid+shelves and that's it! Anything else is extra and unnecessary
