Rimless, thick-glass tanks are especially much heavier than standard framed tanks.Water: Always calculated at approximately 8.34 pounds per gallon. Note that displacement by rocks and driftwood decreases water volume a little, but dense decorations can add their own weight.Substrate: Sand, gravel, and aqusoil include considerable weight. A deep sand bed can easily include 50 to 100 pounds to a medium-sized tank.Hardscape: Heavy Seiryu stone, dragon rock, and large pieces of waterlogged driftwood add substantial mass.Stand and Equipment: While these aren't within the [Fish Tank Volume Calculator](https://fishtankcalculator50490.kylieblog.com/43032376/20-aquarium-tank-volume-calculator-websites-taking-the-internet-by-storm), their weight should be supported by the flooring along with the tank.
