Looking for advice on safety of a 150gal tank on the 2nd floor of a house

[Reefcowboy]

I moved to the 2nd floor apt of a 3 floor apt house in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn.
It is a big 3 bedroom apt(in very good shape)and I would say the building was probably built in the 60's . I was planing to get a tank for the smallest of the bedrooms and would like to have a 150gal if possible. I'm wanting to check first if the weight would be supported by the floor.
Any thoughts on where to look for help with this? The tank I want to have here is
48"x24"x30", with a wooden stand and a 30 gal sump.
Any help would be appreciated.

normally they are okay i have a 120 in 2nd floor. Try to place your tanks towards the outerwalls and across areas with support pillars and spanning as many support beams as possible

The wall I had thought about placing it against is an outer wall, now how to determine if it sits on floor supporting beams? Maybe get a stud finder to locate them?

It would be the shorter distance between the outer walls normally.

Place plywood underneath stand so weight is distributed across the floor.
