I know SW Tanks are heavier than freshies.

Let me know.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I did rough figures on my 55g SW tank and im looking at around 685 lbs Give or take a few! You can Build a stand that will Hold it for under 50 bucks I DID!!!! two by fours (2 screwed together) for the legs, 2x6's for the top and Again Two 2x4's Screwed together for Cross Braces for the top(3 cross Braces and 6 legs) My Father who is "MR.Fix It Or MR.Build It" says that my stand will hold around 5000lbs (not that im gonna test that theory) but i know it will hold my tank. If you want ill do a Paint diagram of how i build the stand and post it for you.
