It's not whether the joists will hold the weight, 99% of the time they will. The problem is, how stable will the tank be when someone (like my kids) start jumping up and down in front of it? This becomes an even bigger problem when the joist run parallel to the tank. Fastening the stand to the wall will help somewhat.
