    I agree. A 2ft tall tank is a nuisance when comes to replanting or scaping. Plus it waste the light output too because of the depth.

    For 3ft and above tank, tank height 50cm is best, after minus the soil you properly get around 45cm for front, for the back you'll get less due to the slope. But all this depends on the size of the tank.
