Thats about it except for some food. I keep my book there in case I have to look up something that I forgot. :rolleyes:
The stuff in those bottles is not by Kent either, I just use the bottles. The gallon bottle of Vodka is not for dosing. Thats for me. ;Happy

I keep most of my stuff either under my tank stand or in my closet. Although, there are a couple things sitting on a modified shelf holding up my light. I just organized the closet, but the stand is a whole different story!
 
I maintain my supplies in several places. Frequently used supplies on a shelf above the sink, brushes and small items in a cabinet beside the sink, larger items such as spare pumps and powerheads, coral rubble and small rocks on a shelving unit about 20 feet from the sink and then plumbing supplies in storage bins beside the shelves. It's all handy and everything has its place. I am fortunate to have a large mechanical room in my house where I can keep all of this stuff.
 
I picked up this shelf unit free on Nextdoor. I'm clearly at capacity. It also looks like a BRS advertisement.

your kidding, right? i have crap everywhere. stuff next to sump under my seahorse tank and my red sea 170. i have a room behind my tanks with a refrigerator for frozen food and refrigerated foods and supplies. i have a cabiner floor to ceiling and addition cabinets there. hanging hooks everywhere with hoses and such. around the corner is our laundry room which contains my water mixing station, r.o. setup, my phytoplankton and copepod and brine shrimp hatchery setup. my fry rearing setup is above the washer and dryer. extra pvc fittings and valves and hosing are in the garage. my chiller and uv for my seahorse tank is in my furnace room. a better question is where do i not have stuff!!!
 
My wonderful wife allowed me to build a room in the garage on the opposite side of the wall the display tank is located on in the house. Makes my life so easy since I did this about 6 months ago.

Wow! You should make a build thread. You have a NICE! Setup.
 
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.

What kind of multitasking goes on in there?!
 
Well, I started by keeping the supplies in a 4 draw container I bought from wal-mart. As my time has grown in the hobby, it also filled up my coat closet, and then one of my bedrooms upstairs, lol!!! If I were married I would probably be divorced by now, LOL!!! ;Hilarious
 
It was in a pile under the tank, in buckets, old totes.. then I scrounged in the basement after a bathroom remodel and was able to put this together. BIG improvement and my living room is definitely less cluttered.

Youre seeing right-
3 tanks and a little of this and that. Most was a store buyout I did and retained the usable chemicals.
For the 135g and drop-off tank:

I was a bit relieved to see how many people voted "everywhere". I do try to keep it contained but it is spread over 3 different cabinets, and that's even when I try to keep only what I regularly use close at hand.
