Are you serious about putting these into a 55?

 

[iluvmetang]

totally but the tangs (when they get to big ) will go to a friend with a 300g tank but i was kinda joking on the mandarin and the shark LOL

Gotcha! Its nice that you have a larger tank to move them to so you can enjoy the tangs while they are smaller, but give them a good home later.
I'd also reconsider getting 3 clowns. They will probably fight and you'll end up with only a pair.
As for the mandarin . . . I'd make sure you have at least 100 pounds of live rock and the tank has been running for at least 6 months, preferably longer. You could shorten that time if you have a refugium set up to help with raising food (copopods).
