like Doug said, if it's against a load-bearing wall and straddles 3 joists you should be fine. especially if it's a newer home with silent floor system (more for strength than silence).
I was doing a copy and paste from the post I did on reef central, must have had 40 views there.

The house was built in 2002. It will go across 3 joists for sure. I was thinking of building a new stand that was 6 feet long. Then it would straddle 4 joists if I place it right. But I'm not sure if it would look to funny having a 5 foot tank on a 6 foot stand. Also a new stand might be to costly I haven't checked it out yet.
