What size tank for large clowns

What size tank do you guys use for large clowns? GSM, Clarkii's, etc.

I've got a pair of clarkiis breeding in a 10 gallon tank now, but they probably shouldn't be in there. I also have a GSM that I want to pair up. Would 20 gallons be a good time? Space really isn't an issue, but I do have to build a rack to hold them all. They'll be plumbed into my 100+ gallon breeding system. There is plenty of filtration (skimmer, live rock, chaeto, etc), so water quality really isn't a problem.
 
Thanks Bill. I may end up leaving the Clarkiis. They must be happy in there. They look healthy and lay large nests. I've heard rumors Petco will be having their $1 per gallon tank sale starting Sunday. I may have to treat myself to a couple Father's Day Presents!
 
40 breeder would be my recommendation for the larger species.

Clarks and maroons get big.

20 gal would be fine for others.
