Like others have said, 40 inches is good, plus is depends on your height also.
My bar stools are adjustable so everyone is pleased

Are you having an opening from the front to access the tank? From the hobbyists that I know who have in-wall's without an access door they really regret it, especially on deep(F-B) tanks.

Is there a build thread yet?
No build thread yet.

I have some engineering to do as there is a telepost right smack in the middle of where the tank is going. I will be talking to a structural engineer this week to see what my options are.


Dave
