This would be much simplier then figuring out displacment and all of that. |
Cyberjester is right, that is the easiest way to do it. To get very technical you would have to determine the volume of the rock and sand (which is easy because you know the thickness of the sand layer and dimensions of the tank V=lxbxh), then deduct the volume of the rock from the total volume....etc etc. I am not sure if there is a need to be that exact.
Are there any questions about how much the stand can take. I just assumed that since the stand comes with tank it is designed to hold all the weight.
