I am thinking of getting a clown tang and would like to know if anyone has one that could give me some info about them.

Not a good addition to a reef. IMO you need 300g with immense flow to keep them healthy. The majority perish in captivity. They are also extremely aggressive.
Your 150g isn't big enough.

I have one in a 200 gallon tank (96"x24"x20"). I have had it just over a year. It's about 6" long and it's starting to be more aggressive towards my Blue Tang. It used to be aggressive towards my Sailfin Tang but since they are about the same size and the Sailfin doesn't back down it's turned it's attention towards the Blue Tang. I'm in the planning stages of a 475 gallon tank (96"x48"x24") so I think it will have plenty of space in that tank. I don't plan on adding any additional Tangs to the 475 when I get it setup either.
