Aquarium safe on 1st floor

Not sure if this is the right place for this question, but I'll ask anyway.  I want to upgrade my aquarium but I'm not sure my floor is strong enough.  The aquarium would be about 5x2x2 feet, and the total weight would be around 1400Ib's. I live in a first floor flat, built in the 70's, with a concrete floor.  The aquarium would be against an outer wall.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Impossible to be 100% certain but should be okay. I would use the wall to partially support the weight and make sure the floor load is distributed evenly across the footprint of the tank stand (no point loading).
