How's this for chaos?  This is what my fishroom looked like the morning after my 120 sprung a leak (note the large empty tank!).

Top left tank was empty before the leak (was in process of designing a scape), so it became holding tank for all my anubias covered driftwood and loaches.  Then all the other plants, fish, etc. were placed in the 4 buckets and large tote on the floor. 

The real "chaos" was the mess of wires on the desk (4 power bars plugged into a single outlet to keep all the filters and heaters going) and the fact that I had to downsize 120 gallons of fish into ~60gallons of water!  To add insult to injury, my re-homed Bolivian Rams completely trashed the scape in the 10 on the right side of the desk shortly after this pic was taken.

Saving grace: Only 1 casualty - a panda garra that decided the bucket wasn't good enough for him.

Here is my 30 Gallon.  This was once filled with Vallisnerias but then the hair algae came and this is all that is left.  Even the snails died (but I'm ok with that part).  Redoing it as a temporary until the 55 Gallon is set up.  Apologies for the reflection from the other window but I forgot to pull the blind.

Our eldest cat holds the title "Director of aquarium maintenance".

Her main task is chasing bubbles in the python hose.
