Is this a 48"x18" x 30" tank ?
If so - stock it as if it were a common 75g tank in terms of bioload -- its has the same surface area, and will therefore handle the same oxygen levels as a 75g tank.
However - the extreme height does mean you can do some neat tricks, layering the ecosystem - ie you can have some cool surface dwelling fishes (maybe african butterflyfishes) while also having some cool lower level fishes, with a large open area in between.
Just be prepared - you will need a stepstool to reach anything inside the tank (usually with long tongs as well) as well as an acceptance of wet sleeves and armpits. I'm 6'3" with long arms and I used to hate working on 110's (some idiot bought some for store tanks "at discount" ) - I couldn't reach the bottom even after climbing a stool so my armpit was at rim level. They were the worst tanks to vac and always looked dim unless we used a ton of lights.
The only thing I like them for now are deepwater biotope tanks (with a faux rock wall along the back and actinic lighting)
Of course, if its a different set of dimensions, ignore me.
