Hi all. I’m looking for ideas and what everyone else is doing. What do you do for storage of all your maintenance and testing equipment? Right now mine all sits on my desk next to my tank and it’s an absolute disaster!! A tote or large tackle box looks like the play, but if any of you have something you use, i’d love to see it.
 
Organizing equipment is key. No sense in having a gorgeous setup if there is a mess next to it. I use storage cubes. Good luck
 
I would reccomend using 3D printed storage containers or holders if you have access to a 3D printer
 
Box of coral or fish arrives, box then used for equipment, or test kits or dosing products. I have a lot of the aforementioned items and boxes.
 
I have a shelving unit (shelves and cabinet section) that has containers and drawers that I keep everything organized on/in. This way it is handy and at the same time neat and organized.
 
I mounted a 24" wide x 30" tall cabinet on my wall. Just the plain white melamine cabinet from Lowes.
Hides everything. Now I get in a hurry and have to clear my desk once a month to put everything back in the cabinet
 
My tank is in my home office and I have a bathroom right outside the door. I have taken over the cabinet above the toilet for a lot of my storage. No one else uses that bathroom, so it works for me.
