    who told you that? your local LFS? You may be fine! But you're teetering on the absolute max your tank can handle sans a decent sump or alot of reactors! I have a yellow tang in a 55 as well, but i only have 2 clowns, a dottyback, a chromis and a mandarin! And i consider that MAXED out! Saltwater tanks just can't handle the load fresh can! Good luck to ya!

    The clowns have backed off the new Addition..figured I'd let everyone know...the water checks out good. Thanks for the advice everyone. Sorry if I made anyone mad about how many fish I have in my tank ;)

    no worries, sorry if i sounded harsh, not my intention! If your tank is happy, i'd let it stay that way though and not mess much more!

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Very good.

    Glad it all turned out well for all fish, you got to be careful with those mature clowns. Mine would for sure kill any new additions, even shrimp and crabs.
