Tony nailed the 20" question. The lack of sandbed and the fact that the rocks aren't stacked very high gives me plenty of room for growth. The reason I didn't go any higher was because I wanted to be able to reasonably easily access any part of the tank. A three foot wide tank any deeper than 20" and I would need my scuba mask on to work in it.
Conservatively estimating 3000 gph. It's probably actually 4000.
You could put a closed loop in without drilling the tank. I've got one like that installed on this tank, just haven't gotten to that part yet...
