I try to keep my tank stand/area as clean as possible. However, that doesn't always happen, especially when I get done testing or do water changes. Are you trying to keep your tank area as organized as possible, or is it more of an organized chaos situation? Photo Credit: Broadfield

I have boards for my electronics, but my tanks aren’t Instagram showpieces. So somewhere in between.
 
I always start off trying to be really organized but fail. My latest build has 15 power bricks and I don't get around well on the floor so ya mine is a mess. It looks great with the doors closed and we never have visitors to show off to so I'm fine with messy.
 
My old 90g was chaos. Bad. My new build is going to be very organized. Mainly to make it easier for my daughter to understand which things go where and what does what. She demands order. My wife demands that ALL cords are clearly marked and organized as well. So I shall comply with both lady's expectations.
 
Uh… after seeing the neat photos, let’s not look under my tank :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:
 
Controlled-ish chaos.....mostly cause I didn't want my controller board or auto reservoir outside the stand so.....not much room for a neatly organized collection of additives and reef diapers....
 
Not as neat as i normally do things, but with this 75 now a stop gap till the 150, I only made it neat enough to not bug me without going to a greater extent. I’ll do a board on the 150 with much more cord management.

Under my tank is pretty clean but I do have a cabinet that’s in the basement that’s more organized chaos.

I love how clean it looks!
 
Mine is a mess above the tank. I plan to reorganize it sooner or later. For now, if we have company over, we pull down the projector screen to hide it.
 
Pay no attention to the items behind the doors…

About as organized as my 8 year old daughters room. I'll let your mind wander on that one lol
