How do you keep everything organized

I was just wondering how you keep your cords to your equipment all organized.

I have one extension cord for the reef and one for the nano, both are right next to each other on the floor, and well as you see from the picture its quite a mess, what do you do to keep everything as organized, and clean as possible, and do you lable anything so you know its easy to find whats what

 

hang the 2 powerstrips on the wall, there are 2 slots on the bottom of each strip meant for this, get 4 screws with heads that will fit into the slots and hang a strip on each side of the outlet. then you can tie each bunch of cords together in bundles, you can find velcro straps made specifically for this, and remember to leave the cords with a drip loop hanging below the strip to avoid water dripping into the plugs should they get wet.

 

ive thought about hanging them on the wall but didnt quite know what to do, thanks for the tips, i will have to try it

I don't :

 

that could be an option too thanks!

 

lol its so confusing whenever you need to unplug something

 

the only problem with that is by the time you get everything placed and then wrapped in that stuff, you only needed about 2ft of it so it doesnt really organize anything.

 

what I'm planning on doing is putting masking tape around the cords and then labeling them.

 

its like this for me when trying to unplug the lights

unplug......ups no thats the heater..
unplug....na thats the powerhead.:-/
unplug....thats the filter...:-[
unplug...darn it not the tv
unplug.... finally.. the lights..
