I find myself constantly making my life miserable with aquarium test kits. I clean the vials and throw them in plastic cup, hoping they dry in time for the next one (but never do). This has been on going for 10+ years and of course the list of test kits keeps growing...

I currently have Red Sea (alk, CA, MG, NO), Saliferts CA, Alk, Refractometer, hanna (ALK, PO), and API (nitrate, Nitrite, Ammonia) - All in one giant plastic container from hell!

Any suggestions or links of good products would be highly valuable! ;Greedy
 
Dog wiwi pads, and a platic tool chest to hold all my stuff. Viles ill flip upsidedown after done cleaning. Usually dry withen a day or so
 
I use the Seachem test kits and the Calcium and Magnesium test kits come in these nice white boxes. Searching high and low I found out they are repurpsoing plastic first aid boxes, so I bought a few. Then my wife found where someone sells pre-scored foam boards inserts. I cut these to size to fit inside the box and then notch out little squares to hold each vial, bottle, test tube, etc. Works out great!

If your using red sea for all 3. You can mount the vile holder so the bottles can drip out onto a napkin or cup.

Good stuff.. I think the sponge is a good idea especially for mounting vials and syringes to drain/dry. The hanna checker vial can't get scratched up and putting them in a this compartment would surely keep them good for years to come..
