It depends on the structure and what the floor joist are made up of...Do some research on that before considering it any further.
i don't know but it's almost always better if you place that tank near walls because the foundations are stronger there.
I have my 200 on the 1st floor ..I put it so that it would have 4 or 5 joists running under it ,I have 2" x 8" floors joists the floor started creeking a little after it was full,,I put some jack posts up to make sure it didnt warp the floor or fall into the basement ,,lol,,it that helps
Unless you want to continue getting useless comments, you will need to provide the following info.
What are the dimensions of the 200g aquarium?
Do you know which way the floor joists run where you are going to place the tank? Do you know the spacing between joists?
Do you know the span of these floor joists?
When was the house built?
