It might sound crazy, but my fishes colors and the way they swim about makes me wonder if that is one problem that we face when keeping fish that come from deeper waters...

While I also agree about the depth issues, I'd be surprised if Paul thought a 30" tank would help alleviate stress. That's merely 6" deeper than a standard 120g tank...not even waist deep for many people at a beach. In his post, he mentions finding royal grammas at 120 feet. 6 inches more isn't going to make an RG feel any better.
