my peninsula tank sits on a stand that's about 34" high and that has worked out well. Mind you, I'm sort, so I didn't want my tank much higher. The tank itself is only 20" high. I suppose if I was taller I could get away with a taller stand that would give me more room underneath. But in 5 years of running this tank I haven't found it an issue working under there.

I remember seeing your tank on a trip to Calgary, while I was still living in the East Kootenays. Very nice installation.

You didn't have a top going up to the ceiling, I think, and it seemed balanced in the space.

My custom stand (at the time) could have used a couple of extra inches of space under the stand, so I'm being more cautious on this build ...
