Default stand height?

looking to build a stand for a 120, and would like to fit the skimmer (pm bullet 2) and pump under the cabinet.
most bought stands are around a 30" height for the tank, is there any issues with building a stand with a 40" height.
i think the 40" would give lots of room to play with under the tank?

thoughts/ideas/suggestions...

thanks

Should be fine as I've seen many stands higher than 30". Only problem is you may need a stool to stand on to get your whole arm to the bottom of the tank if you are tinkering inside!
