My tank has been fishless for 8 weeks...

Hey guys, so my tank has been fishless for 8 weeks and i qt'ed for a week and treated it with copper, and waited 2 weeks and he was eating healthy, now on Sunday 1/27/13 my friend was getting rid of his pair of clowns, ( his tank is also ichless) so i dripped acclimated and what not but i did not QT it, so today i bought 2 more gobies, ( atm its in a 5.5 QT tank ). and found that one of my clowns has 2 speckle of white dots.


So my question is,



1.should i FW dip the clowns and put them back in the display?
2. put 2 clowns in the 5.5 QT tank, im pretty sure thats a big bioload for only 5.5 gallons of water..?
3. leave the clowns in there and feed them Garlic X?


I've already been through 8 weeks of a fishless tank and my sps corals were super pale, even with feeding daily.

I'd pick up a bigger tank for cheap and do the QT process all over again. If you add them to the display and there's any sign of ich then it will just come right back and you'll have to start all over again anyway.
