Aquarium filled-weight calculator
Estimate the filled aquarium weight that transfers through a stand from three US-unit inputs.
Assumptions and source
- The calculator uses 8.34 lb per US gallon as a fixed freshwater planning factor.
- Actual water density changes with temperature, salinity, and composition.
- Enter actual supported water volume, not the advertised aquarium capacity.
- Other supported weight combines substrate, rock, wood, equipment, and other items above the stand.
- The estimate excludes the stand weight.
WARNING
WARNING: Do not use this estimate as proof that a stand, floor, or other support is safe. A support failure can cause injury, flooding, or property damage.
This calculator does not evaluate stand construction, floor capacity, load distribution, support style, leveling, or building requirements.
This result is not a stand rating, structural approval, engineering approval, manufacturer approval, or code approval.
