TF100 Box/Case?

[rinaldok]

Has anyone rehomed their TF100 to a different box or case?

I have been searching in earnest for over a year for a suitable replacement case. The included case is fine to fit the kit as it ships, and I even managed to get the K1766 bottles in there, but I also have a SpeedStir and I have a few other things I prefer to keep together.

I like the K2006 style case where the bottles stand up and it's tidy, but it's not feasible for the TF100 because the larger bottles don't fit and the caps are not color coded as they are in the Taylor kit.

I have gone through a couple different parts organizers/cases from the usual stores, but all have ended up failing for one reason or another. Rather than continuing to buy random cases I thought I'd ask if anyone has found one that they felt worked well.

I use this (Tackle Box) and it works really nice. Was recommended by someone else in the forum.

Ahhhh, good idea. I had thought about a small tool box but this is better.

Do you happen to have any pics of it filled up?

I'm sure there is a better organization method, but this works for me. Of course I have the salt and Ph meter also in my arsenal. I really get tired of trying to guess colors.

Same one I have. Going strong for two years. Best value on the internet at $11.

I been contemplating a way to better organize my test kits and this looks perfect!

Thanks for posting that. ?

Here’s mine. A $12 tackle box.

Love the labels.?

Awesome, I'm seeing some great ideas here! Looks like tackle box is the way to go.

the caps are not color coded as they are in the Taylor kit.

This is my pet peeve about the reagents from TFTestkits. A nudge to @OTPirate I save the colored Taylor caps and reuse them over and over and over...

This was my latest adventure... it's a DeWalt parts organizer that I picked up at Home Depot. It *almost* worked out how I wanted it to. The test cards/papers can't be stored in it because when the lid closes the dividers press into the recesses in the lid.

Not shown is my pH test meter that I picked up from TFTestkits -- I'm not sure if I'm going to keep the meter as it is wildly unreliable.

I'm thinking the tackle box that @rmontgomery showed is going to be a winner, I'm going to order one today.

I also might make a color-coded testing card like what's inside the lid of the K2006 case, just because it's easier to quickly reference.
