As I don't have an aquarium stand with storage underneath, I have my supplies in a couple different places. But I was organizing the other day and was curious to see what everyone's storage/organization systems looks like? 20260329_082719.webp20260329_082727.webp20260329_082814.webp
 
My 7 tanks either sit on a stand with shelves and a cabinet or on a desk with drawers. I store most of my gear in those areas.
 
For my every day supplies I have a chrome NSF wire shelf. It's got the food, nets,tongs, scissors, meds, testing stuff and some misc stuff.
Any unused (used or new) supplies like HOB, filter media, wood, rocks, lights, air pumps/tubing/stones...etc. Goes into plastic bins on the other side of the basement. Even have some heavy duty Lifeguard pumps for the Matten filters we had set up on the 120 and 125 in the last house. The stuff has come in handy in emergencies.
 
The stuff I use most is in the cabinet under the fish tank. Food is on a tray in the kitchen next to the shrimp tank with small plastic pots which I measure dry food into and thaw frozen food in before taking it to the tank. The stuff I haven't used in ages is in the greenhouse, in old 25 litre tanks which would probably leak now if I put water in them.
 
My suppies end up wherever i end up tossing them. some of them on the counter; others in a closet - some on top of the aquarium - just wherever or whatever. Doesn't matter much they all eventually get used up or replaced if i can't find them.
 
In one of my shelving units, there is a free shelf for my stuff. And I have another 3-part cabinet where I keep the small items. And for the bulky stuff, I have a closet that contributes.
 
So this is what the shelf currently looks like.
Once I get some time it's due for an extreme makeover.
