a little over 8 lbs

Including glass,rocks, substrate, decorations, and equipment it is safe to estimate the weight of an aquarium at around 10lb / gallon

8.34 pounds per gallon. What size tank? You have to factor in, like others have said. Rocks, gravel, etc.

What do you wanna stock it with? Have you seen the foot print of a 40 gallon breeder? I think you'll be happy with it and its between your sizes.
