Just after some tips on how to go about this

Current system is

600ltr
Skimmer is a ATI Powercone Si 200
Deltec wet dry trickle filter
Led lights. Not the best only britlux LEDs
Around 25 kg of plate reef bones
Return pump is a jebo dc6000 pump
Flow in the tank is a WP60

none of the youtube videos are working for me so not sure what your looking at.

as for your tank it looks great but many of those fish will get to big for your tank.

Does this work

ok now youtube is working for me again. your best bet is to find a breeder and purchase all the clowns from them that came from the same batch. not saying they still won't fight as they mature but the odds are better.

then you can get a tank like mine. well my growout tank anyway lol

Well my clowns have been spawning for some time now si planning on adding them once raised. I'm more thinking of the requirements of nems

Also how east maintains will be ?

BTA's are fairly easy to care for as long as you keep nitrates ad phosphates low, have decent flow, and good lighting.

Multiple clowns in a single tank is asking for trouble - big trouble. Once you have a single dominant pair, they will kill the other clowns one by one.

yeah that's what I'm wondering about. How long can you go with that many clowns before they Destroy each other.

It is very cute though yeah. Do clowns get a buzz from rubbing with the nems? I'm thinking they do.

That depends a lot. I know a breeder that has had problems with individual fish as young as 6 months being a bully on the playground. Some have had success longer, but only on extremely rare cases will you find someone who has had success with more than one pair when they reach sexual maturity.
