Tap water is 10/Lbs gallon. the specific gravity is 1.000
5 Imp G=22.73 L
5 Us G = 18.92 L
22.73 L X 1.025 SG(saltwater) = 23.3 kg or 51.36 LBS
18.92 L X 1.025 Sg = 19.4 kg or 42.7 LBS

Then do the tare system Island reefer suggested. Zero the bucket out on a scale then fill it.
Hope it helps

Look on the bottom of the pail. Often the volume is listed somewhere on them.

Yes but the average area is what counts, not the average radius. Therefore it is the square of the radius that would need to be averaged I believe. It is a long time since I have done any calculus.
Which space ship is this tank going into?

Yes but if GM built a car that went the speed of light, could someone tell me why or why not it would be a waste of money to put head lights on it
