Water weight and rock/sand weight differ. You can get an estimated weight using only water but in reality when you add the weight of the tank + stand + sump + rock/sand then the water weight is only 1/2-2/3 the actual weight of the setup. Plus you should figure in the displacement of the rock and sand.

You should also factor in the weight of a bunch of people looking at the tank.
On a 6 foot long tank that could easily add half a ton and maybe more.
Im 210 lbs, so 5 people my size increases the capacity significantly.
