Well, not very long storage. Just over a few weeks. Well, when I bought the reg, the old hoses were all coiled because of years of storage in a small reg bag. Most of the things have been replaced, but I don't want these new hoses to get permanently coiled like that. My dive shop hangs all their regs on the wall on nails....my reg has a hose coming out on each side, like at the points of a triangle. No matter which way I hang it, something's gonna bend a little. thoughts? I have my wetsuit hanging from a light fixture becuase my closet racks aren't tall enough
