help with fish room
these are the tanks that will be in my fish room:
2 60 gallon tanks. 1 30 gallon tank. 2 20 gallon tanks 1 55 gallon tank OR 2 more 20 gallon tanks. the 60 gallon tanks are accounted for. 1 goes to my plecos and 1 goes to my display plant. the 30 gallon will be for CRS and plants. 1 of the 20 gallons must be dedicated to my bushy noses for breeding purposes. now here comes my questions. first should i go with the 55 gallon tank or should i go with 2 more 20 gallons? second off i have some celestial pearl danios and would want to breed them. also i have some red cherry shrimps that i woudl also like to breed. and i also want a quarentine tank for plants (snails and such...tank would have loaches and puffers). would also like to have another tank for lower grade CRS. (as you can see my wants are greater then my means but bear with me only a little more). Also would like to have an electric blue crayfish. also would like a small turtle tank (something that stays small liek some mud turtle...would do research on it before i buy). ok so as you can see i have only 1-2 tanks that i can actually have. would i be able to combine any of the "wants" into one tank (most likely a 20 gallon) and which ones should i jsut give up? i'm thinking the crayfish and turtles might have to go. but out of the CPD, RCS, lower grade CRS, and quarentine tanks which one would u pick? if you could pick one what would you do? if you could pick two what would u do? if you could pick 3 (and combine any of them) what would you do? and is it possible to have all 4?!  i've been racking my brain over it and can't really think of a solution so any feedback would be greatly appreciated

or build a secret basement with a door that hides under a rug or something
.small turtle would be a 3 striped mudd turtle i believe they grow up to 4in and only need a 40gal(or it might be 3in and need a 30gal) something like that but they are pretty cool turtles |

man i can't decide. i have however decided that i'm just going to build the stands and then not put up the 55 (it was pretty ugly anyway) and put up some 20 gallons. it seems 20 gallons should be enough to breed shrimps of all shapes and sizes. and the QT tank if i plan to have one will have to be a 20 gallon...dont' wanna waste a 30 gallon tank on a QT tank. the 30 gallon will be dedicated to my higher grade CRS while i'm thinking that i'll dedicate another 20 gallon to cherry shrimps AND lower grade CRS. i also plan to put all the extra RCS into my 60 gallon planted tank and sell off all the lower grade CRS when it gets too crowded. the higher grades CRS will also be sold but they'll be a long time before i sell because i want to fill up the tank first. Tomrorow i'll be cutting wood and hopefully be able to start screwing things into place. after that i'll paint it black then after it dries i'll coat it with a water resistant thing. then i'm gonna move my pleco tank first and then gonna move the plant tank right after that. the turtles still might be an ok idea if i can get some babies. i have a friend that would love to have them when they outgrow my 20 gallon tanks. i'm quite excited since i haven't been able to take care of my plants the last few weeks and they've started to show signs of dying. fish have also been slowing down lately...guessing it's the lack of food. but soon my precious...soon
(oh yea and pics will be coming too...most likely in another 3 days i'll post some pics up.
