Not my area of expertise, I'm only 5'1" myself. If you're on the taller side though, I can see how it'd be a great fit. What are the dimensions of this 110g tank, out of curiosity?

My husband's got a 110 high for his Africans, and honestly, he finds it a real pain to work with due to the height. He got it cheap, used, so he doesn't complain much, but I'm the one who has to deal with the day-to-day. I hate it because I just can't reach the bottom to decorate or move rocks around when catching a fish - it's a real struggle. Even wiping it down is a nightmare, I'd need a ladder and would end up soaking my arm pits. When I'm looking for my future discus tank, I'm making sure it's not too tall. If you've got longer arms, a 110 might not be too bad for you, but for me, it's just not practical.

I've got a 110 high that's planted, and I'll be honest, working with plants towards the back can be a real challenge. Luckily, my long arms come in handy. A long-tubed algae scrubber has been a lifesaver, and I also swear by a magnet glass cleaner for keeping the glass clean without a struggle.

I've got a 110 gal tank for altum angels, and the bigger ones, now 30 months old, are already 11+" tall - over a third of the tank's height. My goal is to reach 14" fish, so a 30" tank is a must for me. The smaller ones, about a year younger, are around 9" now.
This is my only planted tank, and it gets a massive 60+% water change daily. I've got Anubias tied to driftwood, and swords growing in pots, making it easier to clean out the sand thoroughly. I love the look of it, but it's a lot of work. You'll need a tool to move things around at the bottom and another to clean the glass properly.
I've raised altums in this tank when it was barebottom, and doing 100% water changes was way easier. But, I still had to get on a ladder to wipe down the inside surfaces. I've kept large discus in this tank before, and they did just fine, but there was no real advantage to a tall tank. If you're raising discus, a 90 gal tank would be more than enough.
