i have a question for you, i noticed that in a lot of your tanks you dont use heaters. why not?
how?

I have a large dehumidifier which keeps the room toasty and dry. I also have a 1500watt temperature controlled heater, I have it set to when the room drops below 78F to turns on and stays on till it gets to 80F. BTW this is in a closed off room in my basement.

I'll bet you spend a LOT of time in that chair - I know I would. Nice fish / fish room.

LOL, you wouldn't believe how much time is spent there. Although last night I was a little tipsy and plopped down into the chair and broke the back off. So, its time for a more comfortable and sturdy office chair!

Thanks to all who commented!
 
Here is a little update....

This is a 40g Long with a Lithobate Yellow Blaze and Aul. Maleri Island breeding group on top. On the Bottom is a 2-15g a breeding pair of Albino Bristlenose and some their babies on the left and a new tank on the right I just setup tonight, it will be a ABN growout tank once it cycled.

The first stand is a double 20g stand with a 20L on top, its a Mbuna + peacock grow out tank, trio Polits, 4 Yellow Labs, 4 Red Top Ndumbi, 1 Melanochromis joanjohnsonae female, 6 Aulonocara Kandeensis. A 20H on bottom will be going there when I fix it. Right now there is a 10g there with some Aul. flavescent, more future breeders!
On the right is a another 46g bowfront turned around (I prefer it like that) with 15 Lemon Jakes and 6 Albino Lemon Jakes. A 42ish gallon flat back hex tank will be going on the bottom backwards like the bowfront once I reseal it. If you look close I have 2.5g sitting on the dryer with some lethrinops red cap growing out and a 10g (you can't see it) with Albino flametails and Maleri Island fry growing out.

On the out side of my fish room I have a 50g kidney bean shaped pond with 100+ 1"-2" Lithbate fry.
