Will it fit?

you need at least 6 inches of clearance between the top of the tank and the bottom of stand with the top tank on it.
any less and you can't work very easily in the tank..
all my tanks are stacked, and I know if I had less than 6 inches of room, it would be tough:

you can see that there is 6 inches of room between the 90 and 65 underneath.
any less and it would be too hard.
not sure if the 40 long will fit.

Thanks much for a very informative reply. Here is my dilema: I already have bith tanks and a stand. Actually, the 55 has been set up for about a year. I went to the LFS to buy "the largest tank that would fit on the bottom of the 55's stand" and was told that a 40 long will fit. As you have pointed out, while its footprint is teh same as 55, it is significantly lower (probably more thjan 6"). The probelm is that this set up is located in a very narrow hallway, and when I tried to put a 40 on the bottom shelf, I simply dont have the room to manuever it. The solution would be to tear down the 55, pull the stand into the room, place a 40 on the bottom, move it back to the hallway, and replace the 55 on top. I just wanted to make sure that it will work before tearing the tank down.
even though it would be a pain in the ass, I would try and get that 40 under there.
save 4 feet of space that way, and you could use that 4 feet of space for a 90 or a 110

I think a tape measure will save you a lot of unnecessary work and will tell you if it will fit 
just my opinion good luck
