Serpent yours was one of the racks I based my design on, I spent about 3 hours looking for you on livefoods to ask you questions about it, but then realised that you hadnt posted there for about a year.. had no idea you posted here though! Very Happy


I got fed up with all the whingers, whiners and general 'I cant help you but someone here will' sort of posters Evil or Very Mad

Glad to see someone looks at my posts Laughing Laughing

To both eggman and serpent.

How do you find the water bottles in the racking? Do they leak at all that angle. I know there is a small ball bearing in the nozzle, but I thought the had to sit upright?

I use lab cages at the moment with the water bottles that are made to sit in them. But may need to build a few extra cages in the long run. lol.

My water bottles never leaked although if the cap wasnt on extremely tight and a vacume created then i suspect that they would.
