So in that case, a 90 (48 long, 18 deep and 24 tall) would be a bad plan?

It's fine. With the amount of water movemement in a reef, evaporation from stronger lighting and having a sump and or skimmer, gas exchange isn't really an issue.

A large shallow tank is better as you don't have to deal with having 1/2 inch plate for the tank

IMo I would rather have a tank that is long and deep. Height bugs me. I am tall 6'1" but with my 90 on a stand it is a pain for me to get to the bottom of my tank and I need a little step ladder to stand on and reach to my shoulder to get to the bottom.
