Thanks everyone for the great suggestions.  My little 16g bowfront will go in a closet.  My dog barking at the door will give me the time I need to turn everything off.  ;D ;D ;D

You may end up looking like you have questionable taste in decor but anything for the fish, right?  Lol. 
When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because those weirdos are your tribe.  (Sweatpants & Coffee)

You're right.  I am just trying to save this 40 breeder now.  I probably went overboard on the number of tanks I had in this small room.  The air was getting quite thick. 

I've broken down 2 tanks and moved 1 and I can already tell the difference.  I do run the dehumidifier and an air purifier but sometimes you have to cut back to be able to enjoy the fish.

Cover the tanks and some furniture, put drop cloths on the floor, and they'll think you're painting. You don't have to say anything. Let them use their imaginations.

I really like that painting idea.  I was going to paint something anyway. lol.  I'll get my paint and drop cloths this morning.  I don't need much. 8) ;D ;D ;D

Cut the bottom out of a box,set it over the tank.
Stack a couple small boxes on top of it,then they will think you are about to move. :)

I actually have my two stacked 40 breeders looking like a fold up bed in my office (3rd bedroom).  I even have pillows on top. ;D ;D ;D

Outstanding.  Be sure to let us know how the inspection goes.  Uneventful I'd assume.
