So, the more I'm reading about just how aggressive maroons are, the more I'm regretting adding other fish! It sounds like once my clowns are adults, my 60 gallon cube will be big enough for the pair, but they'll become territorial (even deadly) towards other tankmates. Is that true? Do I need a bigger tank eventually?

I have a regal damsel, false lemon peel angel, and a bullet goby.
 
You may be pushing it. Maroons are some of the larger clowns and yes, the female will become very aggressive and territorial.
 
My pair of 'normal' clowns are probably going away soon as well for that same reason. She will swim across 4 feet of tank to bite my hand even with gloves on!
