    it depends on the height of your tank after glass on. I like to shoot for somewhere around 50" total height as that is easy to see in, you can comfortably bend down to examine things closely, and if you sit in a standard chair you are almost eye level with the middle of the tank (give or take a few inches depending on height)

    But also I am a BIG fan of the top down tanks... I am thinking about having a future top down rubbermaid container for one of my next ones.

    Generally I sit, but I do all of the viewing methods you mentioned.

    Every one in a while you've gotta change it up a bit, man.
