70 gal bowfront corner (Dimensions are tough!)
48"w X 22"d x 25"h
2x 96W CF 36" in an Orbit fixture (pretty good reflector, but not GREAT)
I would call it medium-high.

At 25", this is a pretty deep tank. The light directly above the large branches of my driftwood casts poorly defined shadows. You can see the shadow area, but there is no sharply defined shadow boundary.

This is a young tank, but I've got Anubias Barteri v. Coffeefolia in the shade, watersprite (Ceratopteris Thalictroides) along the back wall, Red Tiger Lotus (Nymphaea Zenkeri) up front and a few stalks of Anacharis. All are growing like weeds.
