    I honestly didn't mean any offense when I said I hoped this wasn't a prank.
    We have had several fake posts lately where people post things just to get an uproar.

    I hope the clowns are doing better. I agree with the above in that a 29gal would be perfect for them. I couldn't imagine how big the tank was you had before the 5 1/2 gal! That's way way too small.
    An update would be great.

    Sounds to me like your tank is indeed too small... I wouldn't put more than one clown in there. I recommend getting a 29g... that's what I have. I've got a decent protein skimmer, carbon filter pad, some powerheads, and two 65W lights in my 29 and I've been successfully keeping two clowns, a scooter blenny (benny the blenny, lol), and a clown fairy wrasse, along with several coral frags that are growing fast. 29g is a good size because it can fit in most small rooms without dominating everything, like a 55g+ might.

    I hope all of your fish get better... I've been in your position, just spend 5-10x as much time researching as you spend actually altering/working on your tank!
