way too many fish for a 55, they are doomed. Bring em back. Most of those fish shouldnt be in a 55 by itself (butterflys especially).

Nice tank.....But I believe is fairly new to add so many fishes.....
Any ways you could also use some PH for more water movement....
Good Luck

Excuse me, but who are you to say that someone's tank is doomed?
Actually, I don't care who you are. I think it looks fine. Yes, it's overstocked, but things have a way of working themselves out. Let's try to be helpful and supportive instead of pessimistic and trying to be a know-it-all...
Well, I think it looks brilliant. Don't forget to add some more rock! ^_^

y thank u imurnamine

yes i did think that was a very unmature comment thanks a lot for sayin my tank is doomed
if i c any problames ill probably take them out but if i dont then i proved u rong
but seriuosly thought was a bad comment, if something happens then ill learn from my mistakes but for now everyone is alive and well
as for the LR i jus read about someone adding LR and everything in the tank died (very sad to hear
) but ima make sure the LR is cured b4 i add it

YOU tell'em Emily!!!! lol......But i kind of do have to agree with them, you have too many fish that will grwo to be too big, but that will take time, but do you plan on getting nother aquarium or upgrading that one anytime soon, becaseu you should look into that if you wan to keep those guys.......

Well I kinda have to disagree with you on that one. Its like saying who cares its just a dog. Some ppl care about thier animals it being a snail or a fish. Doesn't matter. I know sometimes ppl over the top but you should care about your animals. No offense

I think the photos of the flagfin angel are awesome! I have one of them except mine is smaller than yours. They are a great angel as long as they are eating and stress free. Good luck with your tank and keep updating with new pics as things progress. I do agree you need to add more live rock so that it will help keep your ecosystem more balanced and help with the overstocking issue. I hope you are using a good protein skimmer too.

Maybe you should look at something you posted a day or so ago. Dont point fingers when you are doing the same. https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/234895/haha-my-bird-just-growed-at-me

too many fish not enough rock. take off the background add some powerheads and whats the filtration? Also, I notice the anemones seemed to either dissapear or shrink as time went on. What lighting do you have. Also way too quick to be adding anemones. Just my 2 cents.

more rock would look nice maybe some better lights so the anenome will make it and a little less fish but looking good

While it's aesthetically pleasing, it's not a good environment for those fish. It's a relatively small, two month old (read unstable) tank with minmal liverock. It houses three very sensitive fish, that will be lucky to survive long. Angels and butterflies are species best left to experienced hobbyists and their chance of survival is much higher when placed into well aged systems with lots of live rock. Flagfin and vermiculated angels are very touchy, as is the copprband butterfly. My sense is that these fish will not fare well. There are much better and hardier fish suited to beginner hobbyists.

Just wanted to say whats up! The overflow and heater I got from you are awesome.
Sorry to threadjack, not like this thread was going anywhere.

Hey guys, let's try to stray away from being hostile and personally attcking anyone, please. We need to promote a friendly and helpful enviroment with our replies. By attacking someone, the original poster automatically stops listening. If you really care about the fish, you do not want the person to stop listening to your helpful and experienced advice.
Nicetry said it best and I agree with him:
