Default How tall classifies as tall???

What height of tank is considered tall (i.e good for tall tank loving frogs like most thumbnails).

Thanks

Well I'm sure someone will state the fact that it doesn't really matter much, as we cannot provide nearly the height that the arboreal frogs see in the wild.
Personally, I like 24" and would love to go higher, but most light sources fail to make it to the bottom of a well planted 24" tall tank without also turning the tank into an e-z bake.

I have a 30 gal vert that provides 36" of height, and my vents are happy to utilize the full range of height. My guess is they'll probably utilize as much height as you can realistically give them.

Default just go with

just go with a 20 gallon vertical, check the forum in construction and plants about the lady making a 10 vert. That should be plenty of vertical space.
