Frag Rack

[cdamiano]

I just finished building a new frag rack for my frag tank. My old frag rack was just one level and was not constructed very well. Here are some pictures....let me know what you think:

I still have to put tie wraps on the egg crate to secure it. I think I may also need to put a center brace in the middle of the top two levels.

Wow, that's intense. Looks fantastic.

Looks good Chris. Great idea, nice and neat!
Why the shorter lower levels?
You don't need to use the purple primer. If you wipe with the glue 5 or 6 times its enough especially on small pipe plus the pipes have no pressure.
Also if you lightly sand the pipe the lettering comes off. Just my thoughts.

Gonna steal your idea when I setup my 40.

What are you going to do to prevent stagnant water in the pipes?

 

[cdamiano]

Thanks everyone!

Walter - I made the shorter levels so that on the right side of those levels it is open so I can place some larger pieces there.

Larry - good point. I hadn't thought of that. How about if I drill a whole bunch of holes in the pipes? Do you think that would be enough to prevent the stagnant water from accumulating in the pipes?

 

[cdamiano]

I'm wondering if I should drill holes in it to prevent the stagnant water, or possibly fill the pipes with sand to weigh it down and then cap the ends.

I like the fill it with sand and cap them idea better

 

[DgenR8]

I'd either go the sand and caps route, or a hole to fit the output of a powerhead on one side, and several small holes on the other side for "exhaust..

looks good Chris...I like the sand idea as well..cap them and forget it.
