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?

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.

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.
