i would say 30 - 36cm. my tank's 36cm tall after having a 1 inch sand bed, and leaving 2 cm at the top for water clearance. im left with about 31 - 32cm of actual water only. which seems perfect for shallow tank!

My current display is 24" x 24" x 14 " H. If I have a chance to upgrade to 4 footer , I'll go for 48" x 30" x 16 " . Half inch for sand bed and 1.5" for top clearance. Just Dream!
