Anyone think I can get away with 2 clown pairs in a 350 Gal Reef?

currently have a pair of Frostbite Clowns in a Nano and a Pair of Snowflake Clowns in my display.

I have and can use an acclimation box for a few weeks.. I was just wondering what my chances are of getting away with it. The Snowflakes don't seem to be aggressive towards anyone and stays to 1 side of the tank.

With a 350 you will probably be okay. Do your clowns go all over both tanks or do they stick to a set spot? I guess with a nano it's kind of hard to tell though. :D

I had no issues with two sets of mated clowns in my 300g.

They stayed at opposite ends of my 8 footer.

Then clowns in the nano roam around the rocks. They are the only fish in there lol. I’m going in a different direction with the nano which is why I want to shut it down.

I have a 7ft tank and tried a pair of blackfoots and a pair of ocellaris. Worked for about two years. Then my blackfoots decided to kill the female ocellaris and my babysitter (I was on vacation) saved the male. Still have him. All alone.

I also tried the blackfoots with my clarkiis. I saved both those guys before they were killed. Blackfoots are now in my sump and I am addding the clarkiis and percs to the main system to see how it goes. My percs are stupid though. Do not know how to be hosted by anything except my overflow pipe. At least clowns are easy to catch for the most part. :)

Maybe same species will help a bit? Good luck. Just watch over time for any issues.
