According to most places fresh weighs 8.5 lbs per gallon salt 10.2 a gallon just tryna understand what they used to calculate the weight seems a lil off

Very true

Nice info for estimates! I'm sure the thickness and material the tank is made with also plays a part in how much it'll weigh.

I think thats salt. I was just doing the math in my head.

I've calculated mine before and this matches up appropriately!
