My Cheap and Affordable Drainage System

Well I've been having some problems with water not going anywhere or building up so I've got a few ideas from members and todays went to lowes..

1.) PICTURE ONE: is the stand I bought ($43.00) it has 5 levels but I only used two. I will use the other 3 when I get more cages.

2) PICTURE TWO: Is the small hole I made in the stand so the PVC pipe can fit to the drain in the tank.

3.) PICTURE THREE: I cut a 2" round hole in the foam board at the bottom of the cage and put the drain plug in.

4.) PICTURE FOUR: Is the 2" PVC pipe attached to the 2" drain plug that is attached to the bottom of the cage.

5.) PICTURE FIVE: The whole cage after it was put back together.

PRICE: Here is what I spent to get this done today. (2) PVC Drain plugs $2.99 each, (1) 12" PVC Pipe $3.99, (1) Drain bucket $1.89, (1) 2" drill bit ($7.99), (1) Hacksaw to cut PVC $7.99, (1) 5 Level Stand $42.99 for a total of $70.83 THIS IS FOR TWO CAGES ALSO not just one Also plant stand was $7.99 just needed something until I get Daves stands..
