Rupey

Mine started out in the living room and dining room. I soon got tired of getting yelled at by my wife for splashing water on the carpet so I moved them to the basement along with my computer. Now i have 5 tanks surrounding my desk in what to my wife now refers to as "the man cave" lol

The observations regarding the focus, location and methodology are very interesting and quite reliable I believe.

I am in the fish-are-there-to-enhance-the-plants group and fish-are-there-to-eat-algea-and-to-create-movement-over-the-substrate subsection. There are three rooms in my basement, one for the planted tanks, another one for the computer and library (internet for APC and tons of aquarium related books), and the last one for the home-theater (my other hobby). There are planted tanks also in my office and nano planted tanks in a common room.

I have 9 tanks up and they are all in the same room. I am a bachelor and they are in this room to keep them all warm and I think my fishroom resembles Rupey's "Man Cave"
Also from a maintenance perspective, I find it much easier than running from room to room for daily and weekly routine jobs in the tanks.
I actually call this room my "Fish Nook".
Also my computer is in here too and That is also convenient when i have any questions and stuff.

One is in the bedroom, another in the computer room (basically our living room), and one in the kitchen (betta nano). I used to have one in the dining room but I tore it down and consolidated it with my ten.

Wow, where to start!

Currently I have two sitting on my computer desk, both were invert tanks until my 3yr old son dumped an entire can of food into one of my other tanks and I had to quickly move fish around. So I have a 10g w/a black koolie loach, a gold weather loach, a pink w/purple metallic half moon plakat, L-201 hypancristus inspector and a handful of CRS. On the other side of my monitor I have a 5g w/CRS, a purple metallic half moon plakat and a single Cambarellus patzcuarensis sp. orange/brown female.

In the kitchen I have another CRS tank (6g), 3 nanos (1-1 1/2g cubes) and a 5g hex that will house green shrimps when they come in. I have another 2 10gs in the living room for the moment, but I haven't decided if they will stay there since the bottom tank is the one I am having to gut and start over.

In my entryway I have a 29g that is my "show tank" until I put up my dream tank, but it will go in the bedroom.

BTW, all of my tanks are semi-low tech soil based heavily planted tanks, including the nanos.

My tanks are all in the living/dining room.

The 55 heavily planted is in the living room, and is actually the focal point with the sofa facing the tank. There is no TV in that room (we turned an unused room into a "media" room.) The little 10 gallon I just started up is here in the Computer Room, but this is more of a common room as well. At least everybody ends up here, moreso than the living room, really. The 29 gallon (torn down at the moment) is/will be in the den area. However that will be Hubby's tank. I am sure it will not be a planted tank. It will more than likely have every bubbling, moving, air-powered garishly colored monstrosity he can stuff in it. The ones I keep telling him "No, you cannot put that in my tank" .

The 2 50's are in the living room. The 10 is in my office.

My 4 are in the dining room/kitchen. It's nice to just gaze at them while having dinner (and ignoring the kids).

Wow. That's a geek. After my own heart

LOL @ Mike!

Yeah, I'd love a setup like that...But I think my wife would kill me for taking up all the space! LOL
