I think you should have done a little bit more research and prepared a little bit more before you dove into saltwater fishkeeping.
How fast did you add these 5 fish...did you use any bacteria to cycle your tank like Seachem Stability or Dr Tim's One and Only?
Agreed, freshwater and saltwater are two very different things. First saltwater takes a lot longer to cycle then freshwater, even in a 23 gallon. And you probably shouldn't have added fish so soon, usually you should start off with live corals, then snails or shrimp and then fish.
