The only thing I don't like about the 6" tall tanks is it does not give them corals much growing room, if you have large plugs. But other than that a 175 watt MH would give them a lot of light even if you got a 12" tank.. I was looking at one, but wanted to go 8" tall, for that purposes.
I agree with the height issue. My frag tank is 6" and I would like it to be a little taller. Figure the water line will be 1" or so lower and the plug rack 1.5" high you really only have 3.5" inches to work with. this is fine if your just growing zoas and shrooms but limits the height you can get on SPS. It also makes powerhead placement trickier.
