I was wondering how much my tank weighs. How do you work it out? I have a 165g actual volume and a 65g sump. the stand would way around 200 pounds I would guess. I have searched for this but nothing comes up. Thanks

Mines over an 8' tall x 14" thick concrete wall of my foundation so I am not worried and it has been there for almost a year now.

This is what i used to figure out my volume. It tells you how much weight is inside of your tank.
