UV yes no to the rest i just have one of those waterfall filters and the UV steralizer (this being the reason i havent had any luck with corals lately)
and i dont really know yet im thinking maybe community becuase ive already got 3 non aggresive fish

What type of corals have you tried? I have found over the years corals are easier than fish to grow. As you add more fish if you do not have any corals to soak up the waste you will have a problem with unwanted algaes. On a 55 gallon I am guessing you have at least 220 watts of CF,s?
