depends on what your joists are made of, their condition, and spacing.
you then need some calcs by a structural engineer and bobs your aunty flo at weekends.

you're not a permanent load though - you move around..........imagine the tank, water, ornaments and now 4 adults the size of me and you standing right next to it looking at the pretty fish - suddenly you've got a static load of around about half a metric tonneThere's 4.54l to a UK gallon.
Each litre of water is 1kg, plus the weight of the tank and stand.......
About 200kg total, maybe 210.
to be honest, it's not that heavy. I'm 130kg (ish) and I've never fallen through a ceiling!
How wide is the base of it? I'd guess it's more than 16" wide? If so, the load will be spread over two joists minimum.
Also, it'll be near a wall? Rather than in the middle of a room, yeah?
