Got the itch to post a couple of pics of my 55. The tank is going on 9 months old.
Also I thought it would help you guys out especialy those with 55's that are as confused about aquascaping these tanks as I have been because the tank is so narrow.
Enjoy :)

tank looks great :) The green stars are sure doing well, as is everything else it looks like. And i agree...they're a pain to rockscape. Like you say, they're too narrow to really use larger base rocks, so you cant really build upwards very much, altho you did do a good job on that ;)
what are the fish? I see what i think is a yellow watchman on the left, and i think they're called firefish? idk...the white one that fades into orange, whatever thats called lol.

Thanks for the feedback
fish include:
Pair of true percula clowns
Yellow watchman Goby
Lawnmower Blenny
Green Spotted Mandrin
Purple Firefish
Firefish
Six-Line Wrasse
So far Fish are all getting along great:)
I would like to add a couple more but I am not sure what to get.
I am going to be very picky about the last couple fish that are added so as not to have any problems hopefully.

I've also got a clown pair and a sixline in my 55. Those sixlines are awsome (so are the clowns :) ) And the sixline swims with my clowns...guess he thinks he's one of them.

I think that your 55 is about the best I have seen. I really like the way the rock work flows look natural. Grate work lets every one see that yes a 55gal tank can look every bit as good as the big boys.
