I know 36 inches is tall for a tank, but does anyone have pictures of one? I wouldnt consider it for a reef, but maybe for a FO.
Who has a 36" tall tank?

Mine is 40"
Mine is 40"
Sorry, but I don't have pictures available. My tank is 40" tall, 24" back-to-front, and 54" wide. I am running a mixed reef with soft coral and gorgonians down low and a few SPS high up in the tank.
My rock work is built up quite high; the highest rock sits out of the water a bit. As a result, I can mount SPS very high.
The reason for the height is that I really like the look, and it fit very well into the space we had for a built in. The tall look is really quite striking.
The problems are flow and maintenance. I need tools to reach the bottom of the tank, and even then, I have to put on my mask and snokel half the time to see what I am doing. The water flow problems could have been alleviated with better up front design, but now I am stuck with low flow in some areas that causes/allows more cyano built up than I would like.
Lighting is 2x250 14k M and a 60W actinic VHO. This is not a problem, although my SPS do not grow at nearly the rates seen inn many tanks posted on RC. Conversely, the gorgonians, leathers, various "meat" corals seem to do quite well.

Hi,
If you go here http://www.reeflectionsaquarium.com/photo_album/michael_harrisons_tank/
there are a few pics of my 1200mm (4ft deep) tank that has 900mm(3ft deep) of water.
Cheers
PS: I only have dial up so my LFS hosts some pics.

I am really considering copying your tank size Raj, maybe make it a foot wider though.
