(just a little info I found on another site, could be useful to someone Very Happy)

Do you have a used aquarium that you don't have size information for? Or perhaps you want to know how much your tank will weigh once it's filled with water. This chart is just what you need. It provides size and weight information for many of the basic aquarium sizes.

Note: Weights are for glass aquariums, acrylic will weigh less
