Rimless, thick-glass tanks are notably heavier than basic framed tanks.Water: Always determined at approximately 8.34 pounds per gallon. Note that displacement by rocks and driftwood minimizes water volume somewhat, however dense decorations can include their own weight.Substrate: Sand, gravel, and aqusoil add substantial weight. A deep sand bed can quickly add 50 to 100 pounds to a medium-sized tank.Hardscape: Heavy Seiryu stone, dragon rock, and large pieces of waterlogged driftwood include substantial mass.Stand and Equipment: While these aren't inside the tank, their weight should be supported by the flooring in addition to the [Fish Tank Gallon Calculator](https://pads.zapf.in/s/PkO3AaRMK9).
