What species are you going to keep in this tank? Larger SHs may find the 16"x16" footprint sort of cramped. Medium sized SHs would not need the extra height. H. barbouri, a tropical species available as CB and grow to about 5"-6" need only 3 times their body height for the height of the tank. So you'd probably only need a 24" high tank maximum, depending on sandbed depth.
BTW, what species of SHs have you kept in the past?
