I would agree that a 54 corner is not a good footprint for a FH. What are the dimensions?

back walls are 27" each, front curved wall is 42". im not saying its the best but the triangular shape is rather roomy for what it is.

Full grown FHs are very active glassbangers that never stop. I would still say it is too small. I suggest you just get one if you really want one. Keep an eye on it's space. If you really like the FH, and he begins to outgrow the tank, get a 75. IMO, 75 should be minimum size.
