I run a 30 long 36LX12WX17H Under my 55G. I had to modify the rear center brace on stand to do this. I think as big as you can fit is good. There are pics i think in DIY forum.

Like I said Chris depends what you can fit, but yes if you can do it as big as possible I'd do that. Have you thought of getting a pre-drilled tank you can also do one of the DIY overflows. Let me know how it goes. Good luck.
