Opotter Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Anyone else sick of boxes of test kits lying around? New aquarium reminded me of how much I really dislike testing. Went on a deep dive reading about Exact iDip, Mindsteam monitor, and trident trying to find a solution around it. Guess a simple, accurate, affordable, easy way doesn’t yet exist (maybe some day). I mean with all this advancing technology, why can’t we just have an electronic do-dad that we plop in the tank for a few seconds and it tells us what we want? But that got me thinking that what really annoys me about it is the mess of boxes and kits in a bin under my tank. Anyone figured out a way to organize their mess of Saifert/Red Sea/ and Hanna checkers mess? Quote Link to comment
Reefing009 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Maybe 30-40 years from now lol Quote Link to comment
Tamberav Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Lol it would be really cool if someone made a bamboo or wooden box with all the little slots to perfectly and elegantly hold all our major testing supplies. Here are some 3D printed racks for different kits: https://printedreefingsolutions.com/t/organization Quote Link to comment
Opotter Posted August 29, 2019 Author Share Posted August 29, 2019 I LOVE the bamboo/wooden box idea!! I was looking at this last night: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07GLC1Y77/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A1AUFI5NHGNZ61&psc=1 Not pretty, but I’m thinking might function. Quote Link to comment
Scorched Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 If you have a bunch of test kits and aren't in the market for the automated solutions this is a good organizer Stack-On Deep Cup Organizer from Lowe's. It's a great container, all the bins come out for ease of use, it keeps reagents nice and dry and keeps everything clean and in one spot. 1 Quote Link to comment
Opotter Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share Posted September 10, 2019 I ended up going with this: Pretty similar to yours actually! Super happy with it!! Quote Link to comment
DOJOLOACH Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Only thing better would be one that had all the test vials lined up. Then you could just take a larger measurement of water and hit all of them at once Quote Link to comment
mcarroll Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I found a small plastic toolbox (no shelves) that fits all the Salifert boxes and associated gear. Simple, compact and portable. Quote Link to comment

mcarroll Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Not sure, but good chances it was The Container Store. Quote Link to comment
