I got tired of opening my test kits only to see that the containers still were wet from when I rinced them on the previous use so I made me alittle acrylic drying rack to hang on the wall the bottom hole is jsut big enough to let about 3/16" of the container slip down then the threads on the top catch and it wont go all the way through.

Nick, you're always coming up with something cool.

I made a similar device out of a piece of wood block. I drilled holes just big enough for the tubes to sit in (8 holes in all, staggered, for multiple tests on multiple tanks at once) and cut a slot in the back to place the color cards. Then I painted it to seal the wood. It's really handy for holding the tubes while doing the test, and after I'm done, I just rinse the tubes and place them up-side-down into the same holes, putting the caps on the bottom end, and by the next day, all dry :D
