The Aqueon 60 gallon breeder size is on sale at Petco for $99.00 but I am not sure how long the sale is going on for (the sales associate said till the end of the month when I called to ask, but I doubt that is the case). I also got an additional 15% off with their "pay online/pick up in store" deal. After tax total was $90.09.
(FYI this tank has the same footprint as a 75 gallon just shorter height...16.5" I believe...so lids and stands for a 75 gallon will fit this tank)
This is the first time Ive seen this size on sale so I thought I'd share.

The 75 gallon stands however will fit the specs...the only difference (stand wise) between this 60 and the 75 gallon is that the 60 has shorter walls.
Regarding the filters, I got out one of my aquaclear 50's to see if it would fit and it is just a hair too small...it fits over the rim part fine but the down tube for the suction is blocked about a quarter of an inch by the thin black lip that is attached to the rim. That said..if I were using the aquaclears on this tank I would just dremel the rim in that spot ...it is a super small amount that would need to be trimmed. I don't have a c4 or any bigger sized aquaclears so I don't know if they would have the same problem. I'm on my phone now so I can't add a pic but I can try adding a picture from my computer later so you can see what it looks like.
The reason I didn't post the other sizes on sale is because 1. They are already posted in other threads under the umbrella petco sale and 2. This size (the 60) is never on sale (that I've seen so far) so I thought it would help someone to point out that this particular one was finally part of their sale this time (it was excluded from their last sale a few months ago and I saw that a few people were not happy about that).
Edit: I just measured the width needed for the glass tops 22 and a quarter inches from the outer side ledge to the center brace ledge ... I would be curious to know if that changes things for your glass tops.
