But as a new reefer learn from this. Clowns are notorious for disease. So only look for tank bred not wild caught and QT them.
will a 5g plastic box work as a QT for clownfish, as i don't plan on keeping any other fish?

Oh!
That’s not a good idea.
Copper kills.
I looked through the manual of the medicin and it said nothing about doing it in a QT. The only thing I've found regarding precautions was this:

Trimaran is useless. Snake oil IMM.

Only copper and hypo for fish with ick and fallow for DT.

That’s all that’s effective, tested, tried and true.
Everything else is a leap of faith.

You have no fish, so only fallow was required.

So when I get the tank up and running again I should get Nassarius snails and a brittle star or an Urchin?
Neither.
A new tank requires no CUC members especially ones that consume a lot of stuff.
Just get the bio-filter going and start fish add after you’ve finished the fallow period in your DT.

Do you know of any hardy fish except Clownfish that are pretty? Don't know if I will trust Clownfishes not to have disseases

A Royal Gramma is a great fish provided you have rock work and the tank is at least 20g.

They all can get disease. Don’t let that stop you.

Clowns, once settled are usually quite long lived are great in pairs and in at least 20g, allow for a couple other friends.

No, not with that product.
Just stop it, it’s useless.

Wait the 76 days at normal temperature or elevate temp to 81 and go 45-50.
Just for future problems, why does increasing temperature to 81 reduce the fallow period by so much?
