I'm looking to add some mollies to my refugium to clean it up some of the nasties but I currently have a pair of clowns (Wyoming White and Black Misbar ~2") in there. Do you think keeping both the mollies and clowns would fine? My refugium is 20"x20"x15".

Clowns can't go in display since I already have a pair in there.

I've had mixed success mixing mollies and clowns, but it isn't an unreasonable consideration. FWIW, my mollies wild caught in brackish water.

Good luck finding any Mollies from a LFS, that can survive the transition to salt. I‘ve done a couple of two week acclimations, all died. A Tuxedo Urchin would be a better choice.
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
