my CBS is all over my tank...especially when there is food out..

biggest problems with a 5.5 i could see are
A> SG daily top off will be necessary
B> even a moderate bioload is going to give you algae trouble
C> no room for corals...
D> if parameters or something goes wrong it will likely be a total loss..since there is no volume for a buffer..
E> dosing a tank smaller then 20gallons involves math...as most commercial dosing products are based on 20 gallons (at least the ones i have used anyway) sure it is only divide by four...hopefully you can find something small enough to measure that though...
