36" tall is a challenge for scaping, managing corals, etc. I personally feel that the space you will be working in around the tank is almost as important as the tank itself. It needs to be easy for maintenance & clean up sake. If it's a struggle to get into your tank, or can only access it from one side, it can be a bit of a burden. Talk with cabinet builders about your water safe & resistant options. Putting some holes in your house walls/floors now may say you a lot of headaches down the road. It all may seem drastic, but we are talking dream tank here
