To backup my feelings, out of all the "nice" sps tanks I have seen, I cant recall any being less than 24"tall, infact most were 30" or taller. some tanks that looked nice to me may have been 20" but that dosent take away from the fact that much taller tanks look just as good, in my opinion better, and health and growth is not a problem in said tall tanks....

Be that as it may, but 36"X18"X18" is a very common size in the trade. It is a size many people are partial to. The reason being that taller tanks are much more difficult to decorate, because you have to pile your rock higher. Some folks like myself have just had a stand made that will accommodate an 18" wide tank. Therefore, if I were to replace my tank I would want a maximum width of 18", and a maximum height of 20". I would think you would have to sublimate your personal feelings in order to please potential customers.
