Default New Crested Terrarium

So I have a 90 gallon aquarium (48L x 18D x 24H) that I want to use for my three crested geckos. I was thinking of standing it on end so that it was 48" tall. Or should I set it up so that it is 24" tall? I'm wanting to make a planted terrarium for them. So what do would be the best way to set up their new home?

I thnink 24 inches high is fine. I like the large width, so they each can have a little space to themselves but still be up. Yet maybe they would love all that height as long as you are sure to put some horizontal areas (ledges) to rest on. If it is really tall though they may not use the bottom foot or so. I think you could go either way. Make sure it doesnt tip over!! If you do live plants you may have to do magnaturals planters so the plants are up high and hang down. I guess if you planted the floor you'd have to have some tall plants! Maybe a cute bonzai tree!!
