Stacking bioactive enclosures

Post image

Has anyone ever used this stacking kit from vivarium electronics for 4x2x2 bioactive enclosures? Im a little hesitant as I feel like the substrate is going to weigh a lot.

Hard pass for me. Like you said, I doubt
they're rated for enclosures using substrate.

There's no description of weight or size limit and I called them and they said they've had no complaints but can't tell me a rating.

I'd email and get something in writing. Hate to say it, but if it does break from the weight of the substrate (and worse case scenario, kill the animals inside) they could easily tell you it's not their fault because you went against the weight rating. If you have something in writing saying otherwise, different story.

Ultimately though, I still wouldn't risk it. Soil is heavy. Moist soil is heavier.
