What Kit Do You Keep?

What kit do you guys and gals keep under your fish tank? At the moment its just general things!

About 20 million 'bits and pieces' I've collected over the years; mostly old internal and bubble filters that are spare now I've got externals on most of my tanks; I keep the sponges in the top tray of them so I have ready cycled media for hospital/quarntine/breeding tanks if I need them.

Then there's air stones and pumps, nets, old lighting starter units, fish bags, lots of safe rocks (also have heap of those in one of the flowerbeds in the garden!), plastic jugs, ice cream and margarine tubs, spare filter floss, carbon, spare plugs and fuses, a load of small spawning tanks my ex gave me when he gave up the hobby, bits of airline, filter hose off-cuts...the list goes on!

2 spare heaters , an internal; filter nets food and dechlorinator . ive also got a drop checker , co2 diffuser and co2 tubing from when i was going to set up a planted tank . i never got around to it as i currently use the spare tank as an isolation tank/fry tank , but i kept them as i still want to do a planted tank at some point

Filter pipe cut offs; about 6 or 7 different sized nets; airline with a knot in it for acclimating; prime; ferts (made up and dry powders); scales, funnel and Di water for mixing ferts; easy carbo; ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH and hardness test kits; 4dkh water; syringes; spare heaters; gravel vac; 2 bags of activated carbon. Oh, and the external filter!

Most of the fish stuff (spare substrate, plants, decor, tank/tubs, filter sponges, more heaters, tank dividers, god knows what else!) is in the garage. I can't fit it all in the tank cabinets, not with external filters.
