OK I started with two ocellaris clowns in my QT tank. They've been fine for about 3 weeks, almost ready to move them into the main tank. I woke up this morning and one of them was dead. The only thing I could think of is that I resealed a 150gal tank in that room and possibly the acetic acid fumes from the silicone affected the fish?

In any case, I have a question about adding a second clown. Should I just wait the rest of the week and then add it to the display, then qt another one? Or should I add a second one to the QT and begin the process all over again? I don't have any preference either way, I'm just wondering what would be better for the fish.
 
I'm going to agree with niko. If you put the first clown in he's going to think the whole tank is his.
