Forum rules
Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page
Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

Great Question - I need to go further - Weight
by Dave » Sat Mar 13, 2004 10:54 pm
Hi,
Excellent question since I am in the process of starting a fish tank too. I went online - searched for starting a fish tank. Got all kinds of helpful info. One of the best was a simple fish tank volume calc
http://www.aquadyntech.com/tanksvolume.html <-- hope okay to post
Anyway, I calculated a max of 40 gallons of water. Great, now owning a 24 ft above ground pool, I know there is some weight associated with water. How heavy will this 40 gallons of water be on the "wood and glass" table I planned to rest it on?
:lol:

Length x Width x Depth ÷ 231 = Gallons x 8.325625000001 Lbs per US Gallon = Weight of water
48 x 18 x 18 ÷ 231 = 67.324675324675 Gallons x 8.325625000001 Lbs per US Gallon = 560.520000000036 Lbs.
40 US Gallons = 333.025000000021 Lbs.
shill: It appears you were using the factor for pure water @ 4°C? A fish tank would probably be closer to 20°C, thus the difference in numbers/answers.
