I just got back from buying materials for a DYI aquarium stand from Menards.  While walking around in the storage section, I noticed a couple of heavy duty storage rack systems that had 3 and 5 shelves respectively.  The 5 shelf one held 1000 lbs on each shelf.  The 3 shelf one held 2000 lbs per shelf.  If you remember the post from NorthernAquatic, these racks were very similar to his but they are 1/4 the price.  These were going for $98 and $149 respectively @ Menards...

Just thought I would share this info with you.

Sorry, I do not have a phone with a camera so I did not take any pictures, but here is what I found on their website...

I stopped in there the other day for the 1st time. Not bad, priced were about the same as lowes and home depot. My Turn-Off was they do not offer Military 10% off. Lowes and Home Depot do!!!
