Open question, How do you store & track your MP40 (or MP10/MP60) wet sides?
I've got 5 MP40's spinning in tanks now, and approximately 3 working spare wet sides, 3 retired/broken wet sides, and 1 new wet side in an unopened box.
Q: What do you think of my thoughts?
Q: Anyone already figured out the a good plastic box that fits MP40's well.

- I'll admit, I've done a crappy job of storing them. Just coupled to each other, through ~1/4" of cardboard between.
- I'll admit, I've lost track which ones are newly opened spare from Dec'19, which ones came from 2018, and which ones i got from others.
- a plastic box, with storage cell for each wet side
- small layer of foam / bubble wrap at bottom, to reduce magnetism and impact from outside metal
- Dedicate each cell to each Specific wet side. Even if it's in use (not there), or in storage (in the box)
- Keep tracking note in each cell. When bought/acquired, working condition (a few make slight noise), and if In use - WHERE in my tanks. (eg: left MP40 in main tank)
- Downside... if I accidentally mix up the box, all individual wet side tracking is scrambled.
- Another option, scratch/etch an ID number into the plastic of the wet side itself. Thoughts?

- See picture of fit in a "Plano 23730-05 Prolatch Stowaway Deep with Adjustable Dividers" (amazon it) Not an ideal fit, would have to cut Horizontal dividers.
