What Is In Your Fishtank Cupboard?

I hear you, given I've only been doing this since January, my cupboard under the tanks is bulging at the seems, so much so most of it gets left out on a coffee table, giving the living room the continual I'm doing something with my fish tank look. Even have some stuff building up at the side of the tank in the water changing bucket!

I've got 4 syphons, yeah 4 who knew they were so fickle!! testing kits, plant tools, filter stuff, like you all the plant lables, 4 different glass cleaning tools again who knew!! automatic feeders, got two of those!! My sand and soil are in the garage as I overdosed on that at set up!

I'm also slightly embarrassed to say I've got the two lid sections that came with the tank under there too, as I bought two new sections just so I could have the pre made holes for the fish feeders 

What it is they say about fools and their money, maybe we should change it to fish keepers and their money

Surprised myself writing this how much stuff I have though I still feel this is relatively restrained!

I have 1 siphon and 1 'filling hose' which attaches to the kitchen tap, a bucket of hardscaping materials (rocks and wood I don't like any more), a water change bucket, spare heater, spare filter, plant labels, dechlorinator, test kit, fish food, magnetic glass cleaner (no one's mentioned them yet!) plant ferts, absorbent towels, auto feeders.

Yep, I too am in the @Littlefish school of storage...  Stuff in the garage, the dining room is chocabloc with fishy equipment & utensils, every spare draw in the hallway and living room has fishy stuff in there and there are bottles of stuff even in the kitchen...  The actual fish tank cupboard is quite conservative really, just foods and test kits essentially - it's the rest of the house...   

I, and I bet everybody else too, forgot to mention that even the freezer has fish food in there, lol...    

@Matt I do have a JBL "Floaty", but it's a bit redundant now as the clean up crew, particularly the eight Oto Cats (aka "Micro-Cats"), are doing a great job of the tank glass...

I forgot there as well 

Fishkeeping reading material in the bookshelf nearest the tank.

Buckets and QT (and spare tank) in cupboards elsewhere.

Down side of fishtank cupboard: Rolls of currently-decommissioned backing paper. 2 heavy-duty condensation trays for resting fish-feeder on – still miss my Clearseal with its Majestic/Monarch hood and in-built condensation tray (@LynneW, what make of filter hood is yours? I can understand why you’ve bought spares if as good as these.)

In fishtank cupboard – double-sided:
Shelf 1: Cleany for siphons (sure-fire way of guaranteeing blisters on fingers from friction of pushing it into siphons); 3 siphons and add-on pieces for one of them.
Shelf 2: Towel with tray on top to set aquascaping instruments, nets, etc, in; currently containing two siphons, a pair of plant tweezers, 2 algae scrubbers on long-armed handle (one brush scraper, one plastic scraper), packet of disposable shoulder-length gloves.
Shelf 3: Spare filter, 3 filters’ packaging (one now being discarded as filter has already been discarded), spare filter sponges, spare filter wool, spare heater.
Shelf 4: Testing kits; current supplies of food; numerous items of junk (eg miniature plastic spoons for ice-cream, now used to serve fish food, lids of discarded test tubes, plastic measuring lids of old medication and dechlorinator bottles); small plastic container for replenishing water; 2 plastic jugs, one less rounded to make it easier to catch fish; sponge for cleaning glass, 3 algae-scrapers/magnets.
Shelf 5: auto-feeder; extra supplies of fish food and plant food; meds; plant items [eg pegs, lead weights, wrap-around foam, 50-ish terracotta rings, 50-ish labels from unintentionally killed plants, 10-ish plastic plant pots (as remainder were discarded a while back); silk plants, stones and other currently-decommissioned decor; spare limestone rock pieces; spare fish-feeding rings, ordinarily used for containing floating plants before they’re unintentionally killed.

In the cupboard under the tank I have the 2 canister filters, CO2 tank (5 Kg fire extinguisher), Fish Flake, Fish Wafers, Assorted Fertilisers and Seneye Refills.
I also have assorted equipment in the shed and the loft and of course food in the fridge.

WOW x2 fish keeping in stockings. I'm not going to try it but I can see it working for some

Especially with the elbow length rubber gloves.
