Yes but I hope to buy a 75G for under $100 on CL.
I have an inquiry in about a 60G that someone is selling really cheap as well.

They are hard to find but a 40 breeder or 50 gallon has a great size and shape for a planted tank. They are 36" by 18" and vary in height (I'm not sure exactly how high they are). So if you happen to see a tank that is advertized as a 50 or 55 but has a weird footprint check it out. Otherwise stick with the 75, you'll be much happier with that over a 55 (trust me, I know....)

The 60 gallon looks the same as the 75 but only 16" high. that seems rather perfect IMHO

My mistake. I think a 60 gallon is 48x15x17.

A 60 can be an extra tall 55 (48x13 & 24H) .... unless it is a custom job. Best to get the exact dimension from the seller. A standard 75's footprint (48x18 ) is definitely a better choice for a planted tank.
