Due to moving I'm going to have to purchase a stand for my 29g. I already have a metal stand that holds two 10g tanks; the recent thread about the 29g stands advises using a 20g long on the bottom for better access.

I could purchase the 29g stand, a 20g long, and run the Whisper 30 I currently have on a smaller tank. I'd be combining two smaller tanks and I'm wondering if this would be overstocked:

6x harlequin rasboras
2x honey gouramis
3x kuhli loaches
2x cherry barbs
6x exclamation point rasboras
5x belted barbs

edit: the tank would be heavily planted

All those in the 29 gal tank? Uncycled? Keep a very close eye on it, and do water changes accordingly. Even if you split them all up between a 29 and a 20, I would still be watching them closely, ready to do water changes on a daily basis, until the cycle catchs up with the fish. Or, my suggestion, would be to purchase the BioSpira, or the New Improved Cycle. I cannot vouche for the NIC, but the BioSpira really does work, and overnight! If you did this, I would say your stock would be fine for the 29 gal, and limiting to the 20 gal.

HTH.....
