Not including the tank itself,the stand,the hood and light,and the substrate,the water alone would weigh 800 lbs.
Roughly 1050lbs with the tank,stand,light,hood,and substrate,maybe more though.

When full it would weigh over 800 pounds.
A gallon of water weighs 8 pounds.
As for the aquarium itself, no clue.

The water weighs 8.3 lbs per gallon approximately. Then you have the added weight of the tank, gravel, decor, and stand (if you use one). Estimate 10 pounds per gallon overall.

16 oz. of water is equal to 1 pound.
1 gallon is 128 oz. so 100 gallons is 12800 oz.
12800 / 16 = 800 pounds

800 lbs for the water- we all agree on that.
Most people add 1lb-1.5lbs for gravel, so figure:
100 lbs of gravel.
20-25lbs for ornaments
100lbs for the tank itself
40 lbs for a metal stand
70 lbs for a wood stand
