I would post a photo but everything is a huge mess. I recently started raising clownfish so in addition to my shelves of dry goods there are buckets of rotifers and bottles of phytoplankton bubbling with airlines running to 10g fry tanks. Maybe this will inspire me to clean up and take a picture. Maybe not.
 
I don't have much equipment. I have 3x5gallon buckets that get stack inside each other, Mixing equipment inside the top bucket, Cleaning supplies in bucket, Food is in the freezer and a small cup of thawed food in the fridge. Smaller add-on stuff like Selcon, Nori, and supplements go on top of the fridge. (I'm the only one tall enough to even see up there.) That is it. RO/DI is connected under the sink in the kitchen. My dog takes up WAY more space in my house than my tanks and don't even get me started on my kids. Sheesh, one day it will be just me and my tanks.

FYI I picked Other.
 
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.

Water mixing supplies in the bottom of the linen closet. Yes that is a water distiller. I like it better than my rodi unit don't harsh on me too much lol.

Everything else is in the basement on a three tier shelf unit my husband made me. Its currently obscured by the laundry I need to finish so no pic atm ha.
 
I have rubbermaid totes on my back porch for the less used/unused stuff and a storage ottoman next to the tank for the more frequently used stuff. And this thread has reminded me I should probably move my pellet/flake foods off the mantle before my wife kills me; she has only asked 2 times so far, that means I am still safe right?
 
I have some in my tank cabinet and some in one of those three drawer plastic cabinets. I do my testing here in the "laundry room which has my RO/DI, mixing barrel and quarantine tank. When I saw this thread I just backed up a few feet and took this photo. That's revhtree's supply shelf on my computer screen.

No, it just kept getting SOAKED by RODI, saltwater, and/or test kits spraying everywhere! lol. When I need to get away from the kids, I just bring a temporary roll and R2R on a laptop in there with me :)
 
Fortunate to have a dedicated fish/sump room, so supplies are festooned around that room.
 
Most of my supplies and excess equipment live in the laundry room. It may or may not have been suggested to me that my fish supplies are starting to take up a bit too much of the laundry room. The only thing I keep in the stand (other than equipment that needs to be there) is fish food. Well, maybe the acclimating box. There might be a frag rack under there too. And that valve for the ATO that I haven't installed yet. And I guess there are a few things that have managed to start accumulating on top of a dresser. Ok, so stuff is everywhere. I'll clean it up tomorrow. For sure!
