The answer to this question depends upon several criteria:
1. The span of the floor framing members
2. The 'on center' spacing of the floor framing members
3. The nominal dimension of the floor framing members (2x12 etc.)
4. The grade and species of the wood
5. Size and location of any holes or notches in the framing members
A typical residential floor designed for a 10 psf Dead Load, 40 psf Live Load and a deflection criteria of L/360 (mid span deflection limited to L in inches/360):
2x12 joists at 16" on center spacing, Spruce-Pine-Fir #2, will have an allowable max span of 17'-10".
2x12 joists at 16" on center spacing, Southern Pine #2, will have an allowable max span of 18'-10".
2x10 joists at 16" on center spacing, Spruce-Pine-Fir #2, will have an allowable max span of 15'-5".
Random thoughts: Thinset ceramic tile with mortar will add about 10 psf dead laod. Location of very heavy objects can be critical when determining a floors capacity.

How do you measure the pounds per square inch that a tank is exerting on a floor?
You take the weight of the tank and divide it by the number of square inches that touch the floor. If you have a 400 pound tank sitting on a stand with four legs of 1 square inch each, the tank would be exerting 100 pounds per square inch. If the same tank is setting on the floor and has a footprint of 10 inches by 20 inches, it would be 2 pounds per square inch.
