Why not just have put the 20g under one of you tank and say it's a sump.

I doubt your parents are on the verge of smashing your tanks, anyone with respect for life wouldn't purposely smash a tank...

Maybe your parents are pissed off do to the fact you were hiding it from them. If you were more open and honest with them and not so deceptive, they might have a better understanding of your needs for your hobby. Granted, not all parents are excited about more fish tanks in a home. But maybe if you would offer to help pay the electric bill so you show them you're trying to be responsible for your own needs for your hobby. Try and see if you can get them involved with your hobby. Talk to your parents about your fish. Bring up interesting facts or unusual things which happen when you interact with your fish, etc. Maybe they will have a change of heart and not require you to sell your fish and tanks.
I hope this bit of advice helps you with your situation and it all works out well for you.

i offered that but they just laughed, they are crazy but i told them that i will keep only one tank but im gonna get a big 320g sell my tanks now and divide the fish and they are shutting up
 
You have a job that your parent's don't know about? Something tells me that is going to be a lot bigger deal than hiding the tank. If you are 15 it is also illegal for you to have a job without their approval. I know it isn't the answer you want but you really need to have an honest talk with your parents.

*edit - just noticed that you aren't from the US so I have no idea about the legality of a minor working but you still need to have an honest conversation with your parents.
 
You have a 175g tank and a 65g take and you couldn't respect your parents decision that you don't need anymore tanks. So you lie a deceive them by trying to hide tanks from them.

:duh:
