i think if your going with mainly a reef tank that should be fine although the coral beauty may eat your coral

That's not too many fish for a 55. You could even stand to add a couple more if you wanted to.

I say two small fish(that stay small)should be okay.Blenny,dartfish,pseudochromis,small reefsafe wrasse.

Yellow asessor! They swim upsidedown sometimes and are aquacultured by ORA

Its never about the money with me, that's why its my hobby. If I want something I get it. If I don't have the money, well I save for it till I can get it.

Plus its a great alternative that doesn't effect the ocean and I love that.

Dustin why get a canary blenny when you can get a Midas Blenny?

I hear you bro. Just saying personally I would pick up a couple neon dottybacks instead of the assessor. JMHO. I do agree about the aquaculture thing, I am more than willing to pay extra to know it didn't come straight out of the ocean.

In our 55 gallon reef tank we have 8 fish (mostly smaller fish - Royal Gramma, 2 purple firefish, small clownfish, watchman goby, bicolor blenny, damsel, and a six line wrasse) and 2 shrimp (fire and cleaner).
