How old of a tank for a flame angel?

Hi, setting up my 55 gallon tank next month. I was planning on getting a flame angelfish and I was wondering how old a tank should be before adding one?

They do like to pick on algae and such (corals as well), so I’d say at least a few months. They’re also a little bit sensitive to water conditions, so you’d want to have those all stable as well.

Ok so I'm going to cycle it for a month with dead rock so I'm guessing like 3 maybe?

I would say when there is a good enough algae build up visable to you
