I've managed to make a pretty nice setup in my red sea cabinet. I'm trying to make sure that everything looks slick and stays clean. Does anyone have a good idea of what to do with the turkey baster used for feeding? Any way of mounting this rather than turning it upside down and putting it in the corner like I've been doing?

I have made (in the past) various hooks and fork type hangars out of
Yup you guessed it wire Hangars. Yes they rusted quickly though.
So at any hardware store you can find the bin that holds all kind of rods and flatstock. So I used aluminum rod and flat stock.
I have made several custome things to hold stuff.
Just need some basic tools and time.

Maybe a plastic pipe wall hanger, similar to this:

They come in different standard pipe sizes. Can mount it horizontally and drop the baster in

How long of a vaster are you talking about?
Would a small section of PVC pipe work? Paint it to match the cabinet, screw to cabinet and then just place and remove the blaster when needed.

If you to the PVC and cut it to length, then cut a section out of the front. It should let the bulb rest of the pvc and you can pull it out of the opening instead of up and out.

This all make sense in my head.. I can draw it up to show you if you don’t understand

Piece of 1” (?) PVC pipe held in place with a C shaped pipe hanger or a broom grip hanger, they have many styles and can be bought as a single hanger.
