I have a 78lX36wX30h and yes getting to the bottom can be a pain. But it's not impossible and actually I have never lost andything in the tank. Even those presious frags that won't stay stuck have always been reachable. But 26 would be a good compremize.
At 8' you're looking at at least 4 x 400W MH in order to maintain SPS and Clams IMO
Keep us updated love to follow new tank projects
