They all look like very nice tanks! My only concerns are regarding the strip thermometers that you have, and the T-rex skull decor.

Regarding the strip thermometers, I hope you do know that they are NOT very accurate compared to standard glass thermometers (the classic glass thermometers with the red liquid in them), and strip thermometers usually need replacing within a year or less (the liquid crystals in them start to fail after a while). Their readings are often affected by the ambient room temperature, although they are ok for getting a very general estimate of the tank temperature.

I do highly recommend you switch to a glass thermometer or other accurate thermometer to get a more accurate temperature reading of your tanks. Here's a cool little magnetic thermometer (sticks to the tank wall with a pair of magnets to hold it in place): https://www.amazon.com/JW-Pet-Smarttemp-Thermometer-Accessory/dp/B002ZMFM4A/

EDIT: I do see you have some digital thermometers for some of the tanks as well... those are much better than the strip thermometers but I've heard that they can also vary on accuracy (plus the batteries do need replacing from time to time).

Regarding the T-rex decor, I hope you checked it thoroughly inside and out for sharp parts and sharp edges (the teeth?) and sanded everything down smooth... Otherwise I'd be worried if the betta might get hurt if it were to bump into the sharp tips of the teeth or any sharp rough edges anywhere. Other than that, everything looks great!

Something like this. It's magnetic, and it's pretty accurate.

Edit- it's $5 there, I believe I got mine for $2.50ish in store at a Petco.

I agree with NeriTina. If you ever look into another one, I recommend magnet ones. They'll actually stay lol:

These are the ones I currently use and love 'em.
