Wouldn't the panels help out more with uneven surfaces?

I'm saving up for it

I think it will be the tank I get when I move...

it would be nice to see one with water in it

I can't vouch for the earthquake construction, but they are made in Italy, where they do have earthquakes. So I guess they have tested out the design.

How much and does it come with a stand?

Please post any info. I am curious about the strength of the tank since it has no brace.

they are very strong...that is the reason for the multi-pane bottom. It allows for the side stresses to be effectively transfered to the bottom.

I can not get a price quote and I can not even figure out how to log in. How much does that tank cost?

"You can see the sizes on our website and you can email me for prices.
In general, Filtra systems start at 1700 and go up to around 3k. Systems start at 2100 and go up to around 5k. There are a few more options and other details that make these systems unique and I am sure they will be discussed as this thread continues. As always, let me know if you have any other questions."
