I admire the fact that that you're willing to go through all that for your hobby! I'd just like to visit to get away from the Canadian winter !

An arrowhead puffer is pretty fun and doesn't require a huge tank just a suggestion.
I've always loved the bigger fish so I don't see leaving mine behind anytime soon. 39 is still a good number of tanks though regardless of size.
Oh I loved my big tanks and fish but with a young family and work they were a lot of work and the cost was climbing all the time to keep them running. Even with 39 tanks running costs are about 1/6 of 4 largest tanks were. Better power saving equipment has come a long way in helping with that too. especially lighting.
Just got back into the hobby last November after a 10 year+ break. Already running 3 tanks: 60g, 75g, & 160g
Four tanks. 55g catfish community, 14g Aspidoras breeding project/office tank, 20g Corydoras + kuhlis, and a 75g that primarily houses an unfortunate Acanthicus adonis, the largest of all loricariids, that was sold to me as the far more manageable Pseudacanthicus L097. It is still relatively small, but might not stay so for long...
I ended up liking the Acanthicus more than I expected, and can actually get a 250g stock tank for it at an affordable price, but then I'd run into the unique problem of having to explain myself to the downstairs neighbors about why a plastic tub containing a literal tonne of water crashed through their ceiling. Apartment buildings over here aren't really designed with monster tanks in mind.

The Adonis is on my gotta have one list. I totally understand the apartment problem. fortunately I'm on the ground floor.
