When I moved about a year ago from off-base to on-base, I moved my 75 gallon tank myself. The military will compensate you for your expenses in relation to a move to a new house, so I needed to know how much it weighed so I could claim it. I had it weighed at a truck stop. I emptied almost all of the water into to large trash cans, which I used to transport my liverock. I left the sandbed intact on the bottom of the tank with just a little bit of water covering it. All the livestock went into bags and off we went. That truck was definately riding low! Would you believe that everything included (tank, stand, canopy, sump, all the water, and so on) weighed more than a ton, something like 1400 to 1600 pounds!!! I couldn't believe it was that much. I'm sure it would've made a big difference if I'd removed the sand, but, as heavy as it was, I am still glad we saved it intact. Aside from the cloudiness from when I put everything back in, the move was flawless and I lost nothing after the move. Good luck with yours.
