    Clowns in 5G

    Hey guys. I'm thinking of converting an unused FW 5G tank to SW and only having 2 clowns in there. Would this be ok for the fish? I have seen the exact set up i want at my LFS and wanted to mirror that. They just had a very small tank, some sand and coral and the clowns in there.
