I have some colonies from frags to over 24' tall, before I had a pruning party. I think you will need a way to move your lights off the tank. So you can get across the top to help reach the bottom. I used heavy duty roller guides to slide the light rack back off the tank. This gives me 30" to the ceiling....
The tank will be glass. Low iron on the front and one viewable side. It will be 3/4" thick with euro bracing top and bottom and cross braces. As for the lights I will rise and lower the light rack for access.

What lights are you using on you tank? 400MH? How's the light down deep?
