Yes, it's possible, but have your girlfriend read the book for herself, and then do lots of research before adding anything to the tank. She will then have a succesful start and be happy with it. Otherwise, she's going to learn the hard way and get frustrated and not want to have a tank at all. Good Luck! (Because you are asking these questions, I'm assuming your 55 gallon tank is freshwater, a little different than salt. But, I'm "assuming" so correct me if I'm wrong.)
