Am I overstocked?

[albirdy]

I'm siding with your mother on this one. 15.5g water weighs just under 130 lbs. Figure in the weight of the substrate and any other equipment and you're easily 150 lbs. It doesn't matter that you can lean on the dresser- the tanks won't be leaning on the dresser. When you can stand on the dresser for a prolonged period of time, there may be some validity to your argument. Their house, their rules. Besides, you can't pay for water damage if your mother is right.

he said 5.5 NOT 15.5.

5 gallons should be no big deal. honestly, just make one or put it somewhere else. if not, shop around craigslist for a cheap pick up. you are not overstocked, in my opinion.

Yeah, but if I add a 10 gallon, I'd have 15 gallons

I have a 5.5 gallon tank with 2 african side neck turtles in, theyre about 4 inch long. large water change weekly with a huge external on the back should be fine if you have good filteration and w/c often

that seems a little small for turtles though
