Multiple pairs of clowns in the same tank?

Sorry if this has been asked a million times, but what size tank can house 2 pairs of clowns?
I currently have a 6yr old false and almost 1.5 yr old true male in our 150g reef (moved yesterday from smaller tank).
I could get my hands on ORA Extreme Misbar pair and this is the tank that would suit the best.
Good idea, bad idea, suggestions?

I've seen two pairs of Percula in a 125, and we have multiple pairs from multiple types in the tank here at Penn State (530gal).
It might work, but then again it may not. Nothing's really 100%.

Thanks WT!
Anybody else with experience?
My crack house LFS (his hobby) has an ORA shipment come in today and it was full of awesome clowns. I got my Extreme Grade A Picasso's in that shipment and saw the Extreme Misbars and B/W's and my I was itching to get more

I'm very new to all this but...I have 2 false percs, 2 clarkii & 1 yellow tail clarkii and everyone gets along fine in my 155 gallon.
 
I say go for it, you tank is big enough for them all to have their own place in the tank anyways. :)
I say put your three picassos and the misbar pair in there, and make the rockwork have lots of caves and hiding places, take the two you have in there now, and put them in the tank that the lone picasso is in. jmo. :)
good luck, and keep us updated

I'm definitely going to try doing that as well. I'm going to upgrade to a 125g in a month ( waiting on stand ) and I'm dying to grab a pair of picasso percs in addition to the pair of percs I have in my tank. Also, I really really want a pair of clarkii or ocellaris.. let me know how it goes!!
