Hey Joel...
You're just short...just kidding. I've met Teevee and his arms are probably longer than mine. In my 30 inch tall tank, I can reach the bottom (but I do have a 4-5 inch sand bed). It has never been a problem...
An easier way if you're going custom anyway is to measure the length from your armpit to the end of your finger and add a few inches to compensate for the sandbed (however deep you want to go) and get a custom height. That's what my friend did on all of his tanks...
Hey Quinn, have you considered building the tank yourself, just get the glass cut and build it yourself... I've built a tank before and it's really simple... you just have to clean the glass well with vinegar before hand and mask off the edges for a nice silicone job...
