I want to put a tank on the platform then fill it with water. I want to know if the scale can measure instantaneous weight of the tank?

The scale fluctuates with it's details until the item on the scale settles and the scale can determine a constant weight. So, if you put the tank on the scale and start filling it with water it will keep changing the reading until you stock and the water settles and it has a constant read for a few seconds. Finally, I would wonder if the tank will be able to balance on the scale, it is not that wide. But you will have to decide that.

Yes. It allows you to set up the container and reset it to zero. Then you can have an accurate weight.

it is digital and does measure decimal points of weight, not sure on really extreemly light weights but we use it to weigh fish as low as 4-5lb and it seems to work ok.

This scale is pretty consistent at measuring small weights. I took a 10g weight and weighed it 5 times (as per your question) and got the same result, 10g each time. This scale is quite sensitive though, a breath or even a draft of air can make it fluctuate and give an incorrect reading, it also needs to be on a flat, solid surface for optimum performance.

Simple answer no. But you could weight the holding container or "tare" first then subtrack its weight.

It probably would but the readings wouldn't be accurate. For example 1/4-1/2 would probably = empty. Also, the added weight would probably damage the gauge. Another option is buying a standard personal weight scale and subtracting the tanks weight when empty. Hope this helps.

There's no way. It's supposed to be auto calibrated. Mine was always off by 20 to 30 pounds. Never the same amount, though. Worst scale ever.

Yes, it will display a negative result if something is removed from the scale after taring. Because the sensors keep reading the weight of the items on the platform. Please keep in mind to make sure the screen show '0' before you weigh an item, if it doesn't show '0', you may touch the TARE key to clear the result and reset it to Zero.

I bought this after trying to use one of those aquarium hydrometers. This is far more accurate. It has 2 scales. The one I use (also on the hydrometer) is specific gravity(SG). Fish only/live rock tanks can have an SG of 1.022-1.025. Reef tanks need a little higher, about 1.025-1.026. The aquarium hydrometers were almost useless, as they could vary between .005 SG between readings of the same water. This one is dead on.

It can measure both units: lb and kg. It is very easy to switch between units and the scales remembers the last setting.

Yes pretty easy I measured tank depth and it tells you how long to set it at for the depth just gotta make sure it is mounted between baffles so it don't hit them if tank is baffled

Yes, When you want to weigh something fragmentary, you can put the container on the scale plate and press the power button to tare. Then put the goods to be weighed in the container after displaying zero weight then you can get the net weight.

I think you could use this unit at the tank and put the two stage regulator second in line the gauge will show you the tank fullness just fine , this is the way I use it ;-)

this device is useless for poundage it is only a guessing game only a spring loaded device. get the water bag weigh the contents of the water and there you go.

Yes, the unit does measure weight. You can set up a profile based on the initial weight when you first step on the scale. After you set up the profile, it will 'recognize' you the next time you step on the scale, and will show other interesting percentages, such as Body Mass Index, Bone density, Per cent of water weight, and muscle mass. This is a very good scale at a great price.

I don't believe so - I simply weigh the plate or bowl and then do the math. Not a big problem - love this scale!

No. You just view the LCD screen for the weight kinda like a bathroom scale
