Future fish would include a Powder Brown Tang, Medium size angel (prolly a Swallowtail), and a larger wrasse. I'm most concerned about them beating on the PBT (my "show" piece for the tank) I was planning to add the PBT last, but if they are gonna be in the tank for a couple months before the tang, that's definitely a concern I have. Maybe they should be added last??

I'm pretty sure the powder brown will be able to stand up for himself but it might be good idea to make sure the tang is a little bigger then the female clown

Yea, I'd say the female is about 3.5-4" right now, male a .5" smaller. Not sure how much growing they have got left. Live Aquaria says 6", but that fluctuates obviously.

I've had my female for 8 1/2 years, she's pretty darn big

Nasty fish. I've also had pretty well every type of clownfish. I think the saddlebacks are the calmest.

I had ,and I stress had ,a pair,they were nasty little fish. They were juvimilles about 2.5 inches long. The female was very agressive, she went around the tank biting everything, snails, fish ,corals heater cords etc...
For the sake of the inhabitants in the tank I got rid of them. They grow to approximatley 6 inches. They may be ok in a tank with only fish bigger than them.
