So for me I have a couple of shelves where I keep my "reefing supply." Things like medicine, gadgets, supplements, test kits, etc. Some of you keep yours on shelves, in cabinets, under the tank and various places! How about grabbing a photo of your "reefing supply" and let's see what you got!

Where do you keep all of your reefing supplies? Any cool alternatives to just a shelf?

I lucked out and have a whole mechanical room for my sump and supplies. We moved earlier this year, and it was something I was looking for. Makes it so much easier!

Sorry for the mess and the electrical wires (which aren’t live), still a work in progress :)

I'll have to take a photo when I get home.

Last week I went to a local reefers house to buy some corals. Literally made me jealous of his set up.

He stated he built a wall in his basement to to have the fish tank in the wall including behind the wall if you walk through the door is all the Sumps and more tanks with hundreds of corals. He even talked to me about his sump since I am still unsure how a sump works and I am upgrading to a bigger tank with a sump. His tank was gorgeous. Everything organized as well in regards to his reef supplies.
 
Commandeered a spare bathroom. Also have a secondary work desk in there that has become the test kit desk. The bathroom is in need of some reorganization! Fish food owns 1/3rd of the freezer too lol.

That’s what my setup looked like before I moved, lots of fond memories of the orange buckets lol
 
frozen food =freezer
test kits - desk
other foods -desk
tools long- next to tank in jar
tools short - in stand or on adjacent window sill
salt, RODI unit, TDS meter, Refract and calibration fluid, spare parts and equipment - basement
books and technical sheets - living room
 
I voted "everywhere" - I have stuff in laundry room/RODI and misc parts, shelf near my main tank, shelf in stand of my smaller tank & in stand where my electronics reside.

Keep some of mine in cabinet under the tank ie fish food, scraper, mostly things i use frequently. Salt and testing equipment, filters etc are all in my closet since there isnt enough room under the tank for everything.
 
Buckets basement laundry room, some supplements under the 90g'55fowlr and under 55 fw planted. Tests are under fw. Food in the freezer and fridge

I'd be divorced if my wife came home to that in the bathroom. lol
 
Right now, my stuff is spread between a table, an island in the kitchen, a set of rolling kitchen drawers, and a cube organizer.

I'm in the process of building a cabinet that will house a water change station in the base, a work counter above that, and shelving for supplies up top. It will be glorious when it's done... but at the moment it's a pile of 2x4s that have been sitting in my garage for the last four months. =) Curse you, summer!
