Dan,
A lot of the time I am joking but being serious here I am actually hoping to start to large tank here in the next year. It started with a depth of 36" and you have slowly got me to increase it to 40" (I'm not sure about those other 8"). The snorkel idea came from getting my dive certification a few years back. I hated them as a kid but the ones they have now work, but I still hate to use them. The nice part here would be allowing you to focus on the coral but issues you'll need to deal with are.
1) To clear a snorkel of any water you get in it you'll need to blow air into it. This with send the water flying out the top of the snorkel (something to keep in mind).
2) You want it long enough allow you to get to where you want to put the coral BUT when you exhale your expelled air will be in that snorkel so the longer the length the larger the amount of "old" air. Too much of this "old" air and you'll get a little light headed.
The bottom line is I do think it is something to think about and if you are trying to deal with a piece that you can see will cause trouble this will most likely be a big help.
Now on the joking side. I do have the dive gear and we could do a dive in your tank and take care of all that coral :spin2:
My avatar is a very reversed colored goldentail moray from a dive in Bonaire. So there is enough room in your tank let's do a dive. :beer:
