You could probably use weight to calculate the difference although I don't
see why you would be concerned about the difference.?
The water quality and oxygen content would be foremost in my mind. But if
idle curiosity is all: then convert the gallons to  weight by multiplying by
8.14 pounds per gallon; weigh the sand or substrate and plants and subtract
from the total pounds of water, then divide by 8.14 to get the difference.
