May others reply, too?

Yep, i was just talking to him about it the other day, so i was saying
"remember i had told you"


1 gallon is about 3.8l, so you are talking about 120*3.8=450kg for
freshwater just for the water.
Add tank, gravel, rocks, stand, ... and we are talking 500-550kg.
Is it 3 lbs per gl of water?

I looked it up on that link someone sent, it was close to 1,300 lbs, with
out the stand, they ask about type of water, rocks, size of tank, its pretty
cool


I doubt it. Aviation gasolin is calculated at 6 pounds per gallon, water
surely has a higher specific weight than gasolin.

yeah, i had thought i heard 3lbs a gl, and my husband said no i dont think
so, so i was hoping someone would say yes so i could tell him i was right,
lol, its kind of important our house is older and that is good in some ways
and in others its not, we are still deciding were to put it, right now its a
living room decoration (right smack in the middle of the living room)


BTW: if you want to find out the specific weight of water in your units
then why not pick a one-gallon jug (e.g from milk), fill it with water,
and put it on your kitchen scale? That's accurate enough for your
purposes.

Yeah, we did figure out what it was, but he needed to figure out how much it
would be all together, with everything else, i was suprised how heavy it
is, that web page above it pretty neat, you put your tanks size, rocks, ect,
and it tells you how much weight it is.

Thanks everyone
apparently salt water and fresh water are different weights????
