Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Vision CB 70 Racks - Any good?
Does anyone have these? Do they hold humidity? Are they sturdy? If you have 1 already, would you buy another or go with a different vendor?
Let me know whatever you can about these racks.
Thanks a bunch.

I thought about those but man. They are double the price. I have about $3K worth of animals coming within the next few weeks and money is tight.
I only have about $1000 to spend on racks and would like to get the "best bang for the buck" while still making sure I have enough shelves.

I commented on the thread that Dennis linked to but I would like to clarify my comments further here since I've had a few more months using the rack.
I feel my previous statements weren't adequate and I would now say the rack I have from Vision is the most worthless piece of crap I've ever had the misfortune to drag into my house.
I slide a couple of the tubs out on a daily basis, and every morning when I check on those snakes I loathe that rack a little more. I have even fantasized about taking one of the plastic levels back with me to Daytona and using it to beat the fellow who sold it to me senseless.
This is my opinion of the rack, your mileage may vary.

Clay,
I think you must've gotten a bum prototype.
I still like mine alot and plan on getting one or two more this year.
It is very sturdy for the weight and have had to move mine twice(as in different apartments) since I got it. It was a whole lot easier than moving my other racks.
With the wheels locked I have no issues with the lightness of the rack when sliding tubs in or out.
As I keep Rosies, I also have no need to maintain humidity & I drill extra holes to make sure it stays low.

Looks like I'll be ordering the Vision CB 70 rack.
Clay,
It appears they have made a lot of changes since the prototype. They now include double the heat rope, the tubs don't get caught, the casters lock, and they are using steel poles for the supports.
I made an inquiry on KS about the new ones and it seems that everyone is pleased with the new revamped racks.
I'll have to give a review after it arrives.

Steve,
You get what you pay for. I have been told by people who have seen them in person that they are total crap.

Jamie,
I see your point about getting what you pay for but in this case it looks like the best bang for the buck is the Vision. They redid the design and it appears to have made a big difference.
It seems the redesigned one is good since Ralph Davis, Greg Graziani and Tracy Barker all came forward and said they now use the new Vision racks exclusively and love them. Tracy even said she is keeping bloods in these racks.
Pro Exotics is switching over all of their racks to Vision ones with the new facility.
If these guys are using them for their extreme high dollar animals, then they should be good for my few morphs and normals.
On a side note, Brian Hahn at ARS infromed me that the ARS-70 Tubs will fit the Visions. Even though Vision Racks don't come with tubs, I can still order the tubs thru ARS, get the rack from Vision, and it will cost $300 less (with one extra level) than going with just the ARS rack.
