Well don't forget that 14.7 lbs/sq in is from the atmosphere to sealevel, so the 6th floor may bring the atmospheric pressure down to 14.9996 lbs/sq in....

Most... well alot of apartments that were built in the last few decades are mainly concrete.... so, if the 6th floor wasn't an issue, you need to consider the fact that there is a good chance the building was concrete not wooden framed.

I think how you place your tank and divide up the weight will determine if that is a risk or not. If you just have 4 small feet/legs on the stand then you have to consider how much weight per square inch you are putting on the floor... If you can find the joices and place your stand so it is being supported by them and not by the plywood under your floor, and then have your tank against a load bearing wall I think you will do well....
(does it sound like I have a clue what I am saying?)
