i have a 75 gallon fish tank and would like to know how much it weighs

Answers:

1 gallon of water weighs 8.345 pounds

one gallon = 8 pounds

a lot

Don't forget to tank into account the actual weight of the tank(heavy) & substrate

1 gallon = 128 oz.

1 Imperial gallon= 10lbs. (British & Canadian gallons)

1 U.S. gallon = 8 lbs.

im very bad at math but i would say about 100 something pounds or more

8 lbs-learned that while farming to mix chemicals

most of the world uses the metric system now!

please americans get with the times

1 litre of water = 1 kilogram

75 gal(US) = 283.88 litres

Your aquarium is about 280 kilograms

1 gallon of water weighs a little over 8 pounds

so 75 gal x 8 = 600 lbs

its about 8.5 lbs. so ur 75 gallon would weigh 637.5 lbs or so.

One gallon is 8 pounds..

But remember that 25% in your tank Is not water but substrate and ornaments.

So you have to figure out how much your substrate, rocks, driftwood and decorations weight and then add the water weight.

I would say your fish tank weighs about 750 pounds.

take care..

8 lbs or 128, 75 gallons=600 lbs

a gallon is 8 lbs

75 gallon of water 600 lbs

your tank with the water approximately 650 lbs
