How many clown do you add to your grow out tank? Do you add multiple hatches to the same tank? Or separate tanks for EACH clutch?

Separate for each. I cycle clutches through tanks as they grow.
 
If they're clutches within a similar time frame (i.e they hatch within 1-2 days of each other), I see no reason not to put them together unless you're linebreeding. Otherwise, separate the clutches out.
 
tHE AMOUNT OF TANK SPACE YOU HAVE WILL HELP ANSWER THIS.
In my drop off tank, I have 7. In my 660g I have 9.
 
Separate for each clutch until they are counted.
I found round tanks/tubs with good circular flow and clean water with low nutrients to be most effective to get fast growth. This way I got my last 200+ batch of bicinctus to an inch within 3 months - in a 17 gallon tub!

I'm doing that right now with a clutch of my Amphiprion milii and a clutch of one of my A. percula pairs, simply because I have only one larvae tank ready right now, because they should both hatch tonight, and because they can be easily sorted from each other once they have colored up.
