Default Is 18x18x24 in too small for 3 cresteds?

At the moment I have two crested geckos, a breeder male (2? yrs old: orange flame: 32g) and a female (2 yrs old: buckskin: 35g) and I'm thinking of moving them from their 15 tall to a larger designer tank. I'm particularly interested in Zoo Med's terrarium that is 18x18x24. This has significantly more volume than a 29 gal long.

I'm also considering buying another female to get started on a small colony. Would this tank be too small for 3 adult animals? I've read that your total animal SVL should not exceed 50% the length of their enclosure. Since height is more important to these guys, I was wondering if this would be sufficient.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

They are arboreal, so the height is the issue you want to look at, but width is also important as well. An 18x18x24 is perfect for a trio of ciliatus.
