Hey guys! I have a LOT of freshwater fish and tanks set up. Along with a LOT of tanks and supplies not set up taking up a whole shed on my property. I only have 1 salt tank currently though. My fresh waters are my breeders and my flower horn pets and my saltwater tank is my community for my viewing pleasure! I’m transitioning my salt water tank from fish only to a reef system and I’m super excited! I’d love to see photos of everyone’s set ups and I’ll get pictures of mine! Anyways, does anyone have any way to organize the water testing kits?! I ended up with 5 from aquiring tank materials from people. I have lots of OCD and I cannot stand the pile of test bottles!!

Why don't you get/make yourself a little modular box for them, like a drawer organizer for silverware but with a bottom and a top?
That’s what I’m planning on for now, just wondering if anyone has any creative idea’s or made themselves a shelf! I’m creative once I have the ideas and great at making them work, I just certainly am not the person to come up with the ideas!
 
I only have a 10gal freshwater tank but just recently succeeded in producing my first fry: Redtail Variatus.
I would just build or buy a modular box/drawer. It's easiest and will likely work best.
 
I have some of those bottles myself and I think there are brands of cracker/snack/cereal/etc boxes that are about as wide as them if you eat any of those. If I were trying to make something for these, I would cut down some of those boxes at a diagonal for decoration, tape the tops/bottoms shut, and wash or spray 'em over with some sort of a paint, and set them side-by-side on a shelf. Because they're short you can probably get 2 slots out of every box you used.

Like these;

But much smaller and shorter.
 
Have a shelf under the stand, just line them up on it.
Here's some pics of mine. 90 gal mixed reef. One that I'm in the process of building, DIY 26 gal. I'm building a DIY 2.5 gal 'drop-off', too.

Nice looking mixed reef tank Sean!

I don't have any, but like looking at them.
