Agree on the above, but here's a correction & another point to note:

-> Sand & stone will displace water, but they are (usually) of a higher density so they will add to the total weight of the setup.

-> Glass used for the tank is another consideration. 4'x2'x2' of 6mm glass should be around 100 lb (approx 45kg), give or take 20 lb (9kg).
