3 ft Cube
I recently upgraded to a Marineland 150 gal cube (36x36x24). I love it! The 24 inch is the deepest I'd go with, as I do get my armpits wet when reaching towards the middle of the tank. But I absolutely love the proportions of this tank; it gives you such a sense of depth and space....
I am not crazy about Marineland's corner overflow, so if I had to do it again, I'd have a bean animal (my tank is visible on 3 sides). I think of it as a peninsula cube. This is my tank journal: http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/sho...ht=water+floor

I am in the middle of planning my next tank upgrade and I agree that you do not want to go any deeper than 24" on a cube that size.
That said, it does depend on what you are planning on stocking with. Large fish, I would go 24" Small fish I think you can get away with 18" After that, it just depends on how you want to do you aquascaping and how much coral (and types) you want in there. Charles

I think it all depends on where youre going to be placing the tank in the home. 36x36x18 is one sexy tank. If you can have open space to view the tank from all sides, its like having 3 different tanks. I do favour going as tastefully shallow as you can go, just for the the extra ease of maintentence and moving corals around without getting too wet.

I'm not crazy about the corner overflow either but I was wondering what a ML tank that size cost you and where did you get it? What type of lighting are you using?
