If your enclosure is 54 inches in length and 24 inches in width, then the enclosure should be large enough to house a trio of geryi. The height or depth really does not matter. Keep in mind that compatibility sometimes comes down to individual personalities so I would recommend having a spare enclosure on hand just in case you should need to separate them.
(width and depth are terms that are commonly interchanged- I am not saying that this is correct- it just happens. I think of depth similar to how you would measure water so my depth relates to a height measurement.)

I would never suggest keeping two males in any size indoor enclosure. Even very large outdoor enclosures have difficulty housing more than one male. The 6x3 size is similar to what I use for my trios (2 females 1 male) enclosures.
