New to brooklyn - Brooklyn Aquarium Society

Hi everyone! My name is Jason and I moved to Brooklyn back in April from Georgia. I have had several aquariums over the years and am looking to start it up again. Currently, I could get a 55 gal aquarium for next to nothing from someone I know. It does have a wrought iron stand, but I think I would prefer a cabinet to hide the filter equipment (and it won't stick out from the wall as much). My question is, I live in a pre-war apartment building(4th floor) and the floor is not even. How do I make sure the tank won't twist and crack once it is filled with water? I guess I am wondering just how stable the floors are-if it is level before I add water, will it stay that way?
