Test Kit Holder/Rack

magnetar68 · 03-11-2010, 04:50 PM

I was thinking about DIY on something like this. Does someone already make one? I googled a little and did not find one. I am thinking I would use it to store the kits and then just go hang it on the tank for testing. Two of these would give you 8 tests with up to two bottles each. They are about 11" across, so 2 would fit along the front of my Red Sea MAX 130D (24").

If you have the luxury of living in a town with a major university you can get all kinds of lab equipment at the school stores

It is a very nice fixture...only thing I would change is the level of the test tubes..I would probably suspend them higher so more of the test color is back to the color coded strips...but it is a very cool idea..

I did a prototype in 1/8" foam board. It seems to work pretty well. Unfortunately, I don't yet have the tools to work with acrylic, but I plan to get them for my DIY sump/refugium I want to build.
