Never mind the unfinished crown molding or the crab trap I'm working with in the picture.
Like I said it is 33 inches tall, only 19.5 wide and 53 long. It was a custom tank that I got for cheap, the person that ordered it backed out on the seller. You will get to really do some cool things with your aquascape being that it's bigger in every way.
I used super glue and fiberglass rod to pin some of the rocks together. If I could do it over again I would definitely use the concrete stuff from aquaforest that I posted earlier.

I also use these grabbers all the time. I would suggest the needle nose type and the claw type. You will find uses for each.
Pay close attention to head restrictions when buying your return pump or pumps. I got one that should have been enough for my tank but it only does 5times the tank volume since it is pumping up that extra foot and has a few bends.
I have the Seneye PAR meter. At the top rock in my aquascape I have the PAR around 300 to 400. At the bottom it is still 100. If I wanted to raise that PAR at the top to 400 to 500 I would be around 100 to 200 at the bottom. I was there in the past but have been struggling with low nutrients lately so I lowered the lights power. What I am getting at is you will be surprised how even the lightning can be even when you get deeper. The reflection on the glass must be what is helping so much.
