a perfect reef tank?

**jhale** · 12-18-2007, 03:07 PM

I was up at greenwich aquaria and saw my next tank (that I want). it's an Elos 160XL.

It has perfect dimensons, a cool overflow box, it's rimless, and the construction is flawless. Oh yeah it's glass also, which I like.
63 x 31.5 x 23.5 h and holds 200 gallons

on to the photos,

the bottom is made in panels so the tank can flex, it gives it protection in earthquakes

Does it really? I would assume that despite having panels at the botom, if the sides aren't paneled either, the whole thing wouldn't flex. But I'm not a structural engineer.

Is there any threat of earthquakes in the tri-state area?

The tank is NICE though.
