That's awesome! I just have the 2 stack for my little guys. Are all three levels connected? Are those the original trays?

Each unit is a separate cage, with the top unit being split into two separate spaces.
The pans are the originals, though I use fleece pillowcase liners to cover them.

Where did you get this cage?? I need a double stacked one!

Nice. I have a 2x2 setup for my old man crew, and it's pretty great too. I made one half of the very bottom into a sandbox.
Why...?
I keep about a half inch of sand in it with a few large rocks scattered around. They use them to cool down and seem to enjoy hopping on rough stuff (it helps keep their foot callouses healthy too). Then I occasionally refresh the sand with a tablespoon of dust for their dust baths.
Why do you have that to keep them cool? Your home should be cool enough for them to be comfortable without extra measures. Having a cool, ambient temperature is a requirement to owning chins.
Wood ledges and lava ledges are enough to keep their feet hard.
They should also not be bathing in actual sand, regardless of whether or not you put dust in it. The dust to sand ratio isn't enough to keep them clean, not to mention the large particles in sand can severely damage a chins eyes.
