i was wondering about that - If I knock down the wall in the kitchen and put in an island, I'm thinking the tank (which would only be 5-10' away) would have better symmetry if it was at counter height.

Do you have enough room underneath for the sump with skimmer?

This also gives lots of room for the sump and skimmer and lots of height left above the tank.
