Yeah I will have to agree with the others...those fish are way to big for a 50g tank...when I saw the first angel I was like woaah way to big! can he even swim around???
Also you really should return the sharks...Sharks are very sensitive in captivity to water changes and are hard to keep ( 2 years with a experienced aquarist is a good life span!) and as far as miniturization goes yeah the sharks will most likely stop growing lengthwise but the head will keep growing and after some time(if it lasts long enough.) it will look all deformed and eventually will not be able to swim because its head will weigh to much and will be too big for the fins and tail.....
Not trying to bash you dude but those are some expensive and impressive specimens just to have them die on you in a few months time...
Also you should look for a new lfs...anyone who says they can miniaturize salt fish is obviously stupid (or everyone here with a 29 g nano reef would have emperor an queen angels and all the other great beautiful fish that you cant have unless you have a tank like my size(250g)...Not to mention that any LFS that cares about the hobbiest and isnt out to rip you off would have not sold you those fish knowing that you have a 50g an little experience in SW....
Do yourself a favor an return them and use the credit to get some LR and more suitable fish....
Good luck!!
