im going to say close to 400-450

320+/- for the water

30 for gravel

50 for the tank

50 for the stand

BTW wtaer itself weighs 8.25 pounds per gallon

the average weight of the average tank (glass, water, gravel, etc) is about 10-12 pounds per gallon

Answer 3

appox 600 lbs

Answer 4

well, a 20 gal filled with water can weigh 285 lbs just with water.  glass alone is heavy and for each pint of water it weighs one pound. 1 pint equals 1 pound, and there is 8 pints per gallon. so water gallon is around 400lbs alone, just add the box number of what the glass weighs, should be marked on the box you got

Answer 5

I was always told that if it was a  55 gallon it would weigh 55x's 2

Answer 6

It depends. What is the stand made out of? Is the tank glass or acrylic? With or without water? With or without decorations?

Water weighs about 10lbs for every gallon, give or take. Then you have to figure in decorations, filter, etc...

Answer 7

Water is seven pounds per gallon, so 50 gallons is 350 pounds of water, plus the weight of the tank itself.
