My son is 2.5 yrs and when I open the tank he runs over to climb up
he's absolutely mad to put his hand it, but I don't let him. Because he threw house keys in in the blink of an eye.

im not short as such but my big tank is pretty high up, the top is almost eye level and the thing is half a metre deep. i learned a few things about cleaning it very quickly, no clothes = no wet clothes, swimming shorts work best, place a towl on the floor in front of the tank, stand on the lid (very strong wooden lid) its the most stable thing, also a wooden floor is a nightmare, but better than a carpet, and yes, ziptie the gravel cleaner to a pvc pipe, works very well.

well kinda, i used to have tanks stacked 3 high when i was breading fish, the top ones you needed a ladder to see the substrate, the bottom ones were almost on the floor. absolute nightmare. i definitely dont recommend. its not fun after a while.

The first day I got my first tank about 6 months ago I had just filled it, left the room for a second and came back to my then 2.5year old son had opened the bottom drawer ot the unit ,stood on it and slid his fingers under the lid of the tank and was tugging on the edge of the glass thank god it stood up to it! Also my new tank is 16" deep but manage quite well at 5 '9 ,although did get my sleeve soaked planting new plants by hand last night

Iām 6ft 1in, so I donāt have to worry about that! 
But seriously, you can look into getting bigger/longer gravel vacuums.
