I’m planning on getting an 8 foot long, 3 foot wide reef and fowlr tank. The only thing I’m having difficulty with is the height..

My reef will probably be 24” tall, but I’m undecided about the fowlr. As like most people, my biggest concern is maintenance, however a taller tank can look amazing. Talls are also a lot more expensive...

Can i get full tank shot photos of 24”, 30”, and 36” tall tanks to help me with my decision??

Thanks!
 
I personally wouldn't go over 24".

You would think I’m trying to figure out Riemanns Hypothesis... haha i can’t wrap my brain around it. The only “pro” that tall tanks have (looking amazing) really outweighs a lot of the bad
 
I always consider flow issues and lighting cost too. Added depth will probably require some upgraded equipment.

It would primarily be for the f owlr, so lighting and flow wouldn’t be as much of an issue. If it were for the reef.. completely different story
 
I don't have a photo of my tank handy, but it's 7 feet by 3 feet by 2 feet tall. It's also in a corner, which means there are parts of the tank that I just can't reach at all. Keep that in mind when you're placing your tank!

I learned that you need to be able to access the back of your tank the hard way! That’s similar to the dimensions I’m looking for so if you do get a photo I’d love you see it!
