How Heavy is too Heavy?

With all the variables, wood condition, age, termites. resting on what type
of block, if any, which way the floor joist lay compared to the tank stand,
etc, etc, It's actually a silly question to ask. The only way to know before
hand is pay to get a guess from a structural engineer.

Obviously the answer to this question will vary depending on the house
but..... at what point do you all think that a tank is heavy enough to
require added support to the floor (ie: bracing the floor from the
basement?)
