What height is your stand?

[lastlight]

I think with the tall stands if your tank is wide enough...you achieve a tank on a pedestal look rather than a tank on a stand look. Mine does have quite a powerful presence in the livingroom. Perhaps a touch too much so but I'm happy with it so far. Low stands likely make maintenance a breeze and colors pop more. I have a 4 step folding step ladder that hides behind the tank. Bought it especially for working on it eventually.
