180 liters of water weigh?!

 

alot


why not weight 1 litre of water ( and seperate the containers weight ) and then times it by 180 then do the same to 10 litres to compare and see if its correct

 

good thknking! got a liter jug handy?! ...

 

yeah bit no scales as im not a drug dealer

 

good thknking! got a liter jug handy?! ...

 

ask jeeves !!!!!

 

jeevs is a twat!

 

 

2.2lb per litre! if ya interested! 1kg

" They weigh more! A Litre of water weighs 1kg, and considering the tank and stand etc, every litre of tank volume probably accounts for 1.3-1.5kg of weight. Tanks are heavy, and need a very stable floor surface. With tanks over 250 litres its worth considering the strength of the floor"

 

why ask and then tell us

 

cool, cheers for info, ill remeber that when im running a bath


now why do ya need to know


i know my old water bed weighed a ton

 

cus i thought someone might just know off top of there head!...but no so iu had to go find out!

off i go to buy a fish tank and hope my unit can handle 28stone! thats with fish and rocks! thats just water!

 

exactly 1 kg per litre, that is in fact how a kg is defined i believe

 

Don't know if displacement - a floating object displaces exactly its own weight in water - works for sunken objects (like rocks or fish!)

 

hope so!..lol..

 

if the object is sinking its cause it has displaced more than its own weight

 

if ya weant ill pop round and sit on it for ya to make sure

 

Right i just brought a juwel rio 180!! fooking huge in me tiny living room!

and just wondering do i need to put polystirene under it to even the weight?!

If so....FOOOOOOOK!!!!!!!!! i forgot it!

 

no ya need to put it under to stop the bottom from cracking the glass in the surface aint true


do not forget it !!!!!!!!

 

what?!

so your saying i need it?! lol...

 

He means "if" not "in"

no ya need to put it under to stop the bottom from cracking the glass if the surface aint true

 

oh yeah .. polystyrene is needed get draining

 

yeah by bad typing, im watching apollo13 when tying

 

 

ahha! foned around and cus the bottom is raised and the glass is not touching the wood you dont need it! wooooooohoooooooooooo

 

180 litres of water weighs 180 kg as long as it is normal clean water with a specific gravity of 1. there is stuff called heavy water which has an extra Hydogen atom attached H3O - but this is mega mega expensive - i saw it on discovery one night

 

someone needs to get out a tiny bit more

 

-its christmas - and im bored

 

An object which displaces is own weight exactly may still sink (as it has no bouyancy so may still float but not on the surface)...it will only float on the surface if it displaces less than it's own weight.....

 

wooohooo look at the science bofs!

Any who! heres some pics for ya!
The tank! juwel rio 180!

Here it is from another angle!

Ive gone for a tiny black gravel as ive had it before and think it looks great!

Tank filled ...but cables werent long enough so gotta get extension lead! (tomorrow)


Now just to mature the filter for 3/4weeks and treat the water!! Also goin to add an external filter alonge side the internal so i can have some more fishys in there!

 

James, you really need to add some kind of life to the tank if you want it to mature properly.

Get something hardy like some Goldfish etc (perhaps about 6 of them). Feed them every couple of days and after 3-4 weeks, you should find that your filters are nicely mature.

If you want any more help, let me know!!

 

Hi mate!
gunna go for fishless cycling! adding in chemicals! insted of fish! cus i know what im like...i will keep the gold fish and not get me angels like i promised meself!

Tho i was wondering.....can i add plants now?! surely that will help with the maturation of the filter!

Christian dont forget to take the mags off me on the 14th!...! lol..
