Rimless, thick-glass tanks are notably much heavier than standard framed tanks.Water: Always calculated at roughly 8.34 pounds per gallon. Keep in mind that displacement by rocks and driftwood lowers water volume slightly, however thick decorations can include their own weight.Substrate: Sand, gravel, and aqusoil include significant weight. A deep sand bed can easily add 50 to 100 pounds to a medium-sized tank.Hardscape: Heavy Seiryu stone, dragon rock, and large pieces of waterlogged driftwood add considerable mass.Stand and Equipment: While these aren't within the tank, their weight must be supported by the floor together with the tank.
