160 gallon cube questions about clowns

I'm sure it probably already been asked I was wondering if I could have multiple clowns of different species in the same tank? If so how many would you recommend ? The same question applies to anemones, I would love to do a clown and anemone paradise tank lol. The last question is would a single mp40 and a couple of other power heads be sufficient flow? My cube has 6 different holes in the bottom that have man made rock stalagmites that I could hook up pumps for flow in the tank to with some modifying . Still in process of making stand and deciding on the clown tank or just doing my first full on reef. Thanks in advance for the advice

You can only have one pair, if you want more than 2 clownfish you may be able to have varrying levels of success with multiple juveniles from the same type (Ocellaris or Percula are good examples).

You can have multiple anemone but in general it is best to keep types that do well in colonies like the Bubble tip anemone, they tolerate their own clowns and split through linear fission. An MP40 may be enough flow for the tank with additional other flow, more information would be needed though. If you plan on keeping harder to keep anemones like magnificas, than you may need more flow (or sps) if you want to keep BTA's you could most likely use one MP40 and a powerful return for the tanks flow.
