Don't be a puss... CLEAN THE BASEMENT. I cleaned out my garage so I could put some of my tanks in there. I had been putting it off for 5 years but my fish needed it so I did it.
Took me 3 weeks 2 or 3 hours a day durring the week and all day on sat. I hauled 15,000 pounds of short steel,4 dump truck loads of junk, tore out 6 sets of shelves, had to pressure wash the floor to get the grease up and then had to insulate and build a fish room.
My garage is 24'x14' so you know how packed in it was. I rebuilt tranmissions out of the garage for 10 years so I had a LOT of s**t in it.
If I can do it you can too.

screw the tanks, clean it out, put up a small stage and a pole, and I'll bring the alcohol and a few "friends"
Just try to get a small space heater and keep the basement temp above 70, it will make it alot easier to heat the water then..
I'm with the guys who say heat the whole room. That way, you won't freeze your buns off when you watch your fish.
I'd say at least 3-300 watt heaters for a 180 gallon. I have one 300 watt on our 100 gallon and I really need to add another as it is almost always going on and off (room temp is about 70-72 degrees).

Life smacked me in the face this morning. THe harsh realization that I need a car in November kinda ruins things. Looks like teh 180g and 90g are going to have to be put on hold. For the time being, I'm going to get a 125g discus/tigrinus tank and put it in my living room. I'm still going to clean out the basement tho. The bar is too good to leave alone.
I say put the 180g were that safe and bear are and do what u said. Get rid Of that very top shelf in the closet and get a bigger TV and put it were that other 1 is and set up a tank under neath it so u can watch it on the commercials
