Default Do I need to reinforce the floor?

7 foot 200 gallon tank with stand will weigh about 2500 lbs.

It will sit length wise on 2 floor joists that are 16" apart.

The tank will sit perpendicular to an exterior wall.

Joists are wooden I-beams and sitting in the concrete wall on one side and the other side is sitting on a steel beam.

Joists are 15 feet long between the concrete wall and steel I beam.

Do I need to reinforce the floor or will I be ok?
