Nevermind... war is somewhat lost... I still don't think there's an issue structurally given
1. more tanks have been up here for longer
2. I would expect the structure of a house to be stronger than the random stands I build out of 2x4s in the basement
3. there are two bathtubs up here
4. the gallonage of tanks in my room right now even at its peak is still less than a waterbed
I was just informed that
1. there is no middle beam supporting the 18' span of the joists
2. the house's lease says no waterbeds on the second floor
so essentially I will not be getting through to my parents on this
I'll figure something out... I think in the clarity of this situation I realize which of the tanks I don't actually want in my room so I'm not as displeased by the thought of not having them up here, so that's good at least
