Looks like a CG or Photoshopped image.
Doesn't seem very natural for the inhabitants (my opinion).

No idea, in their site they talk about a filtration system and you can buy live fish and corals from them and they'll design your tank. So it must be working somehow

The pics do look altered, but the concept is amazing!

the filtration there talking about must be the live sand live rock method.. thats the only type i can see from the pics if anything.

great idea if there not photoshoped.

Actually some type of piping seems to be extending from its stand into a pre-drilled hole on the back of the tank.

i didnt see that but if they really do have a filtration device its gotta be hiding somewhere.

Nice looking set up, but I think it's cruel to confine fish in such quarters. It looks like a very beautiful prison cell to me.

def. agree ulmo.

maybe not for fish, but it would make a pretty cool looking coral tank

my response..is that the ocean isn't like that so why make them suffer..

This tank is with filtration in ceiling .
I can build for you this setup , but this is expensive

Basically, installation consist in :

-Attaching brackets to the building structure

-install remote filter in a convenience place where it is hidden and easily
accessible(can be in false ceiling)

-connect the aquarium suspension cable to the brackets (cable run into two
stainless steel tubes)

-run in and out hoses within the stainless steel tubes up to the remote
filter box (some 3/4 rigid PVC pipes can be used)

-aquarium pump power cord within the stainless steel tube up to the common
power bar

-install light fixture

-fill system, plug everything, start and calibrate.
