Default 2 different pairs of clown in a tank? BAD IDEA?
I have 2 Percula clownfish and 2 cinamon tomato clowns in my 65 gallon tank. they do chase eachother and nip a little but that is about it.

Should i remove one of the pairs?

Ooooooo! I'm not sure but I have had incredibly bad luck with paired clowns. I finally settled on 1 cinamon that has a host bubble tip. I'm sure others will chime in here with more experience than me. I have read however that adults can sometimes become aggressive.
