What is the smallest tank you can put 2 pairs of clowns into without them fighting and hurting each other? 1 pair would be GSM and the others would be true perc. I know the GSM are very agressive. Thanks

IME, it would not be worth the risk with maroons in even a 200 or 300gal tank, although it depends on the individual fish.

You don't want to have two pairs in a tank unless they won't see each other. That mean that they need to be in a 7+ feet long tank with their hosts at each end of the tank. The host will keep them from wander and meet each other.
Short answer, you should not have two pairs unless you have a huge tank.
