phosban effectiveness

I'd upgrade to maybe a 10 gallon at least.

1. Your phosban reactor has doubled your system volume
2. a clown in a 5 gallon tank is just asking for trouble too much waste
3. How old is this tank?
4. What kind of water are you using?
5. What are you feeding him?

I would just get all new rocks and start over if I had a 5.5 gallon tank.

why even have fish in a 5.5g, w/ rock thats like a 1.5G!

Get some cool shrimps (such as sexy shrimps) they'd be less bioload and better suited to the cramped spaced

the clown is in there b/c my 24g aquapod cracked about 5 months ago......so its been in there ever since.....when my 55g is done i'll transfer it

I like your natural approach to attack the algae problem. Just wondering how you are filtering your water? RO unit tap water purifier?

Honestly I don't think any of this matters. As was mentioned with rock you've got only a tiny amount of water. Every time your clown goes to the bathroom your levels will skyrocket.

Get a bigger tank. Go spend $25 and get a 20 High or 20 long until your 55 is ready.
