New Member needing to upgrade

Hello. I am new to reef2reef and to the hobby. I have kept freshwater fish for more than 30 years. I started my first saltwater tank a few years ago. My current tank is an IM peninsula 20 and it's time to upgrade since my fish are quickly outgrowing this tank. Looking to get the IM SR60. If someone here knows the actual weight of this tank please let me know. I already contacted IM and they gave me the packaged weight of 208lbs but could not give me the weight of the tank itself.
Approx weight with rock and water - 300 pounds

I just read the specs on the IM site, it says that the tank is 137 lbs.
 
Welcome. Do you mean the weight of the tank when its filled?

Thank you. I went back to their site and found it. Funny, the person at IM I spoke with could not give me that info. All he had was crated weight of 208lbs.
 
Welcome! Can't wait to see it! A gallon of water weighs 8.3 lbs. A lb of live rock displaces about .7gallons of water. Depending on what you're putting into it, you can get some rough ideas off that.
