Is an aquarium ok on a laminate floor?



I'm only worried about the weight, not a spill. (Aquarium is acrylic
and therefore has no seams but is molecularly welded.)

It's a 60g aquarium on a wood stand that has a flat 6' sq bottom (vs
legs), so there should only be about 100lbs weight per sq foot.

The floor was just layed one week ago [it's layed on a concrete slab
floor with underlay and whatever else they put under it]. 

This is a Pergo-type flooring which is fit tongue-in-groove. I
wondered if the weight sitting on the edge or middle of a piece at the
perimeter of the stand would cause the fit between the adjacent piece
of laminate to raise over tim -- or otherwise corrupt the floor. I do
plan on putting a thick runner carpet beneath the stand to protect the
floor directly beneath it.

Thanks!
Kenny
