Tank options

Hello everyone,
I need some opinions. I have a real nice 29g biocube set up for a pair of maroon strip clown, but now that I have it all set up I am real nervous about my anemones getting into the powerheads. I am in to process of setting up a 56g that was going to be for my pair of blue spotted puffers. Since the 56g isn't drilled yet, I've been tossing around the idea of putting in a closed loop and moving the maroons and their anemones to that tank. Only thing is, I'd have to have the puffers and several other fish in the same tank. I'm not sure what would be the best way to go. Any opinions or suggestions?

KC,

It's legit to be concerned about anem and powerheads, although several people here keep them together.

Will all the fish you are looking at have about the same compatability and will the puffers have escapability if they get too close to the anem and the clowns get territorial?

Those are the only 2 concerns I can think of

It would certianly be a colorful tank

So what would be the other fish?
 
So far the clowns have not been very aggressive towards any of the other fish, though I know this can/will change as they get older. I will have a lot of live rock in there, so everyone should be able to have their own space. If for some reason the clowns do decide at a later date to try and take over the whole tank, I can either relocate them or their tank mates. I had thought about putting the puffers in the 29, but from what I read they need at least a 50g. It's hard to believe since they are so little now. :-D
I was thinking of putting a dwarf angelfish or one of the smaller butterflyfish in there. I'd like to get some more movement around the tank. I'm trying to hurry this process along since the puffers are in the sump of my 90g right now.
I almost stuck them in the 29 so they'd be out a little more with a consistent light and dark periods, but them I remembered that I have a pair of fire shrimp.
Does anyone think that the tobies would be ok in the 29?
