Well, if it will help you sleep better, an engineer is a good idea. Although he/she is going to want to see the floor and what is supporting it. Any way to peel back carpet or pull up a piece of flooring?

I'm not sure what you're asking.
Let's say someone is putting a 150g tank in a room. On average you can say a tank setup with sump and stand and what not will weigh about 10 lbs per gallon, so 1500 lbs. Let's make it safe and use a 15% margin of safety, call it 1725 lbs. If the OP wouldn't worry about 10-12 average people standing in the room during a party, they shouldn't worry about a tank in the room either.

my thought is, if the stand will hold it up, with far less structure than a floor, why worry about the floor, unless you have a beast of a tank.
