After forever I’m finally setting up my 60g and looking to tear down my smaller tanks. I have two snowflakes paired and two black and white paired. In a 60g does anyone foresee this being an issue? It’s 5 feet long a lot of room.

Worse case at this point is my in laws get a FOWLR tank with two black clownsI had a 7 foot tank with 2 BTAs and a Magnifica. When I added a new pair of clowns, they kicked my original clowns out of the Magnifica, and the original clowns wouldn't take the BTAs and just swam forlornly in a corner until I rehomed the new pair. So yeah, it's really hard to say what results you'll get.
Hoping it works outHonestly, it all really depends on the clownfish. The fact that they're both paired works in your favor, so I'd give it a greater than 50-50 chance of success.
They are not. They can do OK together but you have to have a large system, run carbon, and do frequent water changes. Otherwise you will definitely notice a slow decline in the BTAs. Mine was a total of 350 gallons and I was doing biweekly 40 gallon water changes because I wanted to feed my anemones but still grow SPS. (Yes I know, SPS dominated AND anemone dominated is also a bad mix. I get obsessive easily and don't compromise well.)Off subject, sorry Hoodstream but I wanted to quickly ask bradleym if BTAs and Ritteri are 100% safe with each other in the same tank.
Could you elaborate on this more? I have both a magnifica anemone and a rbta and up until recently they were both doing great. I attributed it to a rise in phosphates due to adding new rock, as well as Kessils that we’re going bad. I upgraded to radions and did a big water change and they have both improved. Both were hand fed shrimp this morning and ate well. But I’d like to know what I should be worried about. They do both stay on opposite sides of the tank and always have.They are not.

My experience (I am no expert and your mileage may vary) is that I did just fine when I had the setup I described. Then I had a tank crash (bad magnet leaking heavy metals). Five years later I was rebuilding. I had several types of coral, several fish, a carpet anemone and multiple BTAs (same as before). But I was being very lax on maintenance, and no longer running carbon. Everything was doing well, I just didn't have the same obsession for SPS as last time.Could you elaborate on this more?
