I think 16" is a good hieght but not for a prop tank. mine is 13.5" tall and I think it could be shorter. 48" x 36" x 13.5 ~90 gals.
If I would do mine over again it would be around 10-11" tall.
but if you are going to do a sandbed 16" may not be so bad. I am not doing a sand bed because when corals fall off the racks they can get buried and die in the sand.
