A general rule is a gallon of water would weight about 10 pounds. Depending on how much gravel is put in the tank, which would take up water space and weight a little less, you’re looking at about 1000 lbs
Your tank full of water will be 1000 lbs at minimum. With rocks, gravel and ornaments, plus the weight of the tank itself, etc. It would be best to have a stand that can easily hold 1500 lbs. Also at that weight, you will need to look at where you are setting up your tank in the house, hopefully the basement.
i do agree one gallon is ten pounds filled with water its about 1000 pounds plus decor plants caves and fish about 1300 so try to make a stand that can hold prolly 2000 or double the wieght so bout 2600
