There's no problem with mixing Eco with Flourite - both of my 50's have that. Getting the slope you envision, imo, will be a challenge, especially since a 55 has a very narrow footprint.

I would agree with Veloth - I would suggest doing some light water column dosing with N, P, K.

Also all the plants you're talking about are fairly slow growers. You might want to throw in some hornwort perhaps - low light, fast growing plant.
