I am sure anyone who has been in this hobby for more than a few years has accumulated a lot of "stuff". Test kits, ferts, air pumps, filter parts, etc, etc. Right now, I keep my things I need consistently on my light fixture, like my scissors and my tweezers. I have an IKEA cubby next to the tank for things I use frequently like hydrogen peroxide, Excel, Prime. Then I have a box that fits into the rack I take out for my test kits, ferts, etc.
I am looking for something easier, more streamlined, and less "cluttery". Initially I was going to add a shelf to my stand but my new stand makes it challenging, it has a 3 inch brace so it has to be fairly low which interfere with the filter tubing. It has built in cut outs so I don't want to drill more, I could do some drop brackets and do a shelf that isn't the width of the stand. Or, it could be out of the stand. I have ideas but I am sure people have better so reason I asked. I know this isn't equipment based but it seemed most applicable. I would love to see pictures if you found something really helpful or built something. I could just put some drawers in my cubbies but I think it would look odd and out of place the way everything is arranged, but even just a storage solution online that fits the typical stuff we would keep around would be helpful, though I mostly am looking for ideas to probably create my own solutions using yours for inspiration.
