Can I make a recommendation you take those tangs back first. They will not survive the cycleing of your tank, and 55g isnt enough room for one tang adult tang let alone two.
I recommend you do some reading here on the forums about the Nitrogen cycle and starting saltwater aquariums.. Thats the first step.

Local fish store.. Where you purchased..
That filter is fine.. You might want to read up on cleaning them especially the bio balls.

Has your tank cycled? I hope so or you will lose the tangs if not all the fish. Saltwater is a difficult thing to master but if you read up on this board allot you will learn and your tank will transform into a reef.

yes it is clycled. as i mension before i dont know anything. the guy of the pet shop is then one in charge of all the cleaning and stuff until i lear how to do it by my self and coreclty i just love them. i really dont wnat a reef. even when i like them i prefere a simple taqnk with some live rock and anemonies. i really dont what to have the whole reef in my house even when i wish i could.

Are you sure its cycled or did the fish store guy tell you that? How long was it set up before you added all those fish?

A month is probably okay for your first fish. If he added all those fish at once you could be in trouble. The only thing I would change about it other than choice of fish (that's personal preference) is I would ditch the fake plants and get a bunch of live rock. Your fish will do much better with some places to hide and it will REALLY help with your filtration. Just my .02 cents.
