Been working on a grow out tank

I have wanted to build a stock tank into a grow out for feeders but wasn’t sure how to attach the watering system. Finally figured it out though. Still need to build a feed hopper and tweak the top some. But otherwise im happy.

Very cool, can you please share more about your system, ideas and your process. Other Rack system, rat colonies, reason for using the stock tank, etc?

I have a 6 level rack that uses ars 70 tubs, and I wanted a way to grow out a fair number without crowding them. Each of the ars tubs have anywhere from 1.3 up to 1.5 along with the offspring that aren’t ready to feed/freeze/relocate.

I’m also working on building a 6 level Vivarium Electronics super 70 tub rack for the rats to double production.

I did attach a feed hopper to the grow out. It’s not nearly large enough to supply their needs but it’ll work until i build a custom food trough.
