Just a small technical correction, Peggie. The weight of salt water
is, in fact, 8.33 lb/gal, but that is misleading. The pressure exerted
is .444 psi/ft. So if the tank is 2 ft deep, the pressure is only .888
psi, which would also be the pressure on the walls at the bottom of
the tank. The total force on the wall if the tank were 1.3 ft wide on
a side (for about 27 gal) would by 166 lbs.



What is it when the bow slaps a 15' wave hard? This is the pressure at the
marina dock....
