Alright, so I have this 60 I overstocked a bit. Instead of getting rid of the fish, I say get bigger tank. So the I bought this wood stand hand made from the lfs. It has a footprint of 48", 15". first anyone know of a 80+ tank with that footprint? They told me at the lfs that as long as the footprints match, it can hold the weight.

Current stock is-
4 Bolivian Rams
6 (peppered/albino) corydoras
6 roseline sharks
1 vieltail angel
1 gold nugget pleco
1 African dwarf frog

I state this because I want stock and size to match! I figure I'll get some stocking feedback to. Just so you know, the frog has been with the rams for about 5 months no problems and he comes out and eats with them. All these fish are under 3in now. Criticism openly accepted. Excited to get a larger aquarium if they make one for this footprint!
 
Are you sure it's not 48"x16"? The size you stated isn't a standard size. If it's 48x16 then you could go with either a 75 or a 90 gallon tank.

This is the class size, the frame sits in the stand slot only 1/4 inch on each side so at most without hanging over a little 15.5".
