I dont know how, but the higher the tank the higher the pressure. Also the higher your tank, the ticker your glass/acrylic needs to be.

Yes he is right. With higher tanks more pressure is created at the bottom of the tank and has the potential to bust like that guy whose 220 broke out on the bottom.

1" X 1" X 12" / 231 cubic inch/gal X 8.3 lb/gal = 0.43 psi :thumbsup:
