Yet another stupid question

[ThatDarnDragon]

Estimate, how many lbs does a 10 gal, and a 5 gal weigh together? Im trying to figure out if my curio would be strong enough to hold that.

I never concidered the weight and I dont want to add a 5 gal if it would weigh too much.

Probably somewhere around 150 lbs. More when you add in substrate, decorations, etc.....

Well a gallon of water (US) weighs 8 pounds. So fer thefive and ten gallon youd have to figure how much all the deco, filters and tanks weigh then just add 120 pounds to it.

Your probably looking at 150 pounds give or take

thank you. I have a 10 gal nano SW set up.. and thats probably about 100 lbs right there with all the live rock and such. hmm.. I shouldnt risk adding a 5 gal on it.
