Like I said it might work better for different people, but in my ""4ft tank"" it did not. I just honestly think a PT and BT should be in a 5ft or bigger. Just my 2 cents.

From what little I know of tangs, I think a Kole tang may be a better option for a 4' tank.

Considered a blenny or shrimp/goby pair?

Clownfish are only aggressive against other clownfish (outside their group) and those fish they perceive as a threat to their anemone or eggs. Other fish are usually ignored unless they get to close or start provoking them.
Where the limits are differs from species to species and varies also a bit with the individuals. Interestingly enough i found clarkii (the ones I had) to be no more aggressive than your average ocellaris.
The nastiest clownfish I ever had were polymnus followed by sebae.
Premnas l actually found to be quite ductile and fearful. It may have been the setting I had them, but other clownfish i had in similar settings were not as shy and fearful.

I agree completely. I had a 46 gallon that a pair had started prepping for laying eggs, and these were the black and whites that I've heard are a bit more aggressive. They only really cared about the 10 inch radius around their "spot." They gave my Midas Blenny h*** every time he came close, but he was just curious. Most of the other fish they could care less about...even sometimes when they were closer than the Midas Blenny would come, he just was often circling their space.

Just do another species of flasher along with the mckosker instead of doing 2 mckosker.

I've never had much of a problem with solorensis being too aggressive.

Going back to the original list, I don't find that anthias add too much bioload. While true that they require more frequent feedings, just feed less food per feeding. So it's the same quantity of food throughout theday, just over more feedings. Doing this will result in less uneaten food polluting the tank.
