Heaters still in tanks set low in case it gets to cold or power outage then can easily plug into generator.
 
You are going to need to play with the thermostat for the room until you get the desired temperature in your tanks. There isn't a quick and easy answer to this question.

Also, if any of the tanks are closer to the floor, they are usually a couple degrees cooler than the upper tanks unless you are mixing the air in the room so the heat is evenly distributed.
 
I have an unheated tank and it usually runs a degree or two cooler than room temp. so figure you want 80 in the tank, heat room to 82.
