I think there are others like me out there. Are you?

indeed, a wall of water effect, as in the displays at public aquariums as has been mentioned.

I don't think i've personally seen one of those on this board - do they exist in home applications?

If it exists, then it exists at home. Somebody will have done it. I have seen some amazing things on the internet that people did at home. I am too new here to remember who has the basement filled with water. I know its in canada and I think his name has arapaima in it.

Cleaning is difficult, many wet t-shirt sleeves.

When I built my tank. I could have stayed around the 30" mark. It would have cost me much less, especially for the glass front. Going 40" in height added an extra 60% on the front glass cost alone but every time I look at it, I think to myself "That was worth every $" I also find the taller tank much better when performing water changes. The extra depth means there is a lot more water left when you drain it which places far less stress on the fish themselves.
