Is this a 55g Long?

[PaiLum92]

Recently bought a 55g tank from craigslist, but it seems quite large/long. So, do the dimensions match a 55g Long, or is its size mislabeld?

Length: 4'
Height: 21"
Width: 1' 3/4"

So?

Nope, standard 55. 4ft long is a normal 55g.

Are you saying the width is 21"? If so, that is larger than a 55. It almost looks like a 75, but a 75 is only 18" wide.
