Height for In-Wall Tank

[rnanfito]

Any opinions on a comfortable viewing height for a 180 G in-wall tank? I know that it sorta depends on the chairs, but I bought a setup that has a 40"H homemade stand, and I wanted to see if there were any opinions on how high the tank should be off the ground for comfortable viewing. I will only have one chance to get it right.
I plan to sit in front of it a lot!
Thanks for any opinions.

If you plan to sit in front of the tank quite a bit, I would recommend building the stand to about 30-36". This would put a 180 at a height that works well for viewing while seated, but also doesn't force you to bend down too much to see into the tank.
FWIW, I'm 6'3" and am about to place an order for a custom tank to go inwall. I've had a variety of tanks before, and the one thing that's always bothered me is that that stands have all been 30" or shorter and I've had to crouch down to look into the tank. The tank I'm about to order will be 28" tall and will sit on a 42" stand; which will take it to about eye level, but won't be positioned the best for sitting and viewing; though some barstools set in front of the tank could be cool!

I agree with Rob... Tank height I think is a personal choice or opinion... I'm a short guy 5'8" and hate bending to look at a tank on a basic stand..... I'm in the process of setting up the 240 and built my stand 43". Why 43" it just put the tank at the level I want to see it... Most of the time I'm standing around the tank anyways, rarely do I sit and just gaze at it.....
