Get the 75. I have a 55 gallon, and my common outgret it quickly. It was just too narrow for the turtle to be comfortable.

Cool I named my first snapper chomper too. I still have him today. As for tank Go for the 75 gallon. Unless you plan to build a pond for when he/she gets older. They grow fast. You should vary teh diet and not just feed it pellet food and guppies. Try crickets and worms and other stuff.
