Sand or BB is up to you - I would not recommend crushed coral substrate, though. As far as LR goes, I'd just pick stuff you like and looks good.
While a standard 55g tank might be okay for a very small yellow tang or hippo tang for a little while, be aware that they will eventually outgrow it.

BB = Bare bottom
Live rock = your preference (what you like)

A flame angel would be very happy in a 55g, I think.

Forget it Awilda, there is no need to be nice anymore.
Zuska I am going to tell you straight up and pull no punches. You are not listening to any of the advice given to you in any of your threads. We have had many people like you think they know it all but ask ask ask in hopes that just one person will differ from the advice given to you so you can do what that one person said. So yes, you have a 55 and a 65 g tank, yes they are going to be cycling at the same time, and yes no matter how hard you try and how long you leave your tank fish less you can still have an outbreak of ich even though you quarantine.
Now for the No's
No you can't put a Naso Tang in either of these tanks they are too small. No you can't keep selling fish in the for sale forum from your 65g tank without advising people they came from a tank that had a disease that killed most of your fish. No you shouldn't sell fish from wholesalers here without being a registered vendor. And here is the big one, No more threads. Keep everything in one thread instead of in a billion threads started by you and by hijacking threads started by others.
It's time to realize that these little animals, these little tiny insignificant animals that can for the most part be flushed down the toilet when you kill them are living beings and need to be cared for properly. If you don't think you can care for these animals properly it's time to look into another hobby. Tamagachi are big I hear again. This is not a kids game, this is a life game, and you may be the kiss of death. Sorry to be so hard on you but you need to learn before you murder anymore living things.

Hey now, They are no insignificant animals! Each has its own personality. And just because they conveniently fit inside the toilet drain doesn't mean you can flush them. I try to bury if any die and provide little gravestones. :biglaugh:

If you don't know what BB stands for then it stands for BIG BOOK which is what you should get and read way before you start one tank (forget about 2). These are very basic questions you're asking and yet you don't listen to what anyone says.
