Here is a pic of my 5 gallon Nano

What kind of filtration do you have? Must be doing something right if you can keep 2 clowns in a 5g.
 
just live rock and a internal filter with GFO and Carbon. I do 20% water changes every 4 days and everything does Great.
 
It may work for now, but for clowns i really agree that ten gallon is the bare minimum for a pair. But that is a beautiful tank.
 
there going in a 29 Gallon in 2 weeks but ive seen it done many times for very long periods of time, I use a 20k par 38 from Ecoexotic.
 
I know they can be fine for a while, they grow slow. The trick is to move them before they reach the stressful point or risk stunting, plus excess bioload. I have a small pair in my evolve8 currently, but I also have 4 tanks going I can play musical chairs with. How are you liking the colors from that bulb? I have a 20k boostled par30, I loved the glow, but colors morphed and wasn't showing any off my rbta very well. Now I use and absolutely love my full spec par38 from LEDtric. Now I won't use any LEDs that don't have at least three colors, and preferably neutral white instead of cool white (I still wished my LEDtric bulb had neutral)
 
I love the color from it. im going to be putting 3 of them over my 29 Gallon 30"12"18" here shortly. my clowns are not a permanent resident in the 5 gallon however the Yellow tail Blue damsel,Palm Palm carb,Coral Banded and all Corals are. the tank has been going for 8 months or so but i recently moved my 29 Gallon and put my fish in the 5 Gallon and the Corals are all at my Local Fish store. the fish will be going in the 29 in aprox 2 weeks possibly sooner but i would rather not rush.
 
Sweet nano!
