The seismic isolation needed for LIGO-II will require a dramatic technological change from the passive systems used in the initial LIGO detector. To take advantage of the improved thermal noise of a 30 kg test mass made of high-Q material and suspended with fused silica fibers, one must attenuate the ground motion by more than 10 orders of magnitude at 10 Hz
