I have only been in the hobby about a year and my addiction has taken over. I have decided to do a 225 gallon reef build that would be sps dominate. Starting with the lighting I choose to go with an ATI T5 fixture and bulbs. I was hoping to get advice on bulbs. It's a 60 inch 8 bulb fixture. I have also decided to invest in a apex to help supervise my tank. I'm looking for a good dosing unit that is user friendly.... For flow I went with two mp40s and gyre. I choose a reef octopus diablo protein skimmer. I have an 80 gallon sump debating whether to use the approximately 40 gallon chamber for a refugium or space for media reactors. Lastly current livestock
1 black tang (4in)
2 purple tangs (4in)
1 sohal (6in)
They have been in the 225 gallon for about 4 months together all doing extremely well my question is, is an achilles out of the question? From previous research and forums sohal and achilles don't seem to be an ideal pair. If space is the issue I have the means to get a larger tank within the next couple years. Just looking for suggestions and advice. Pervious experiences would be great if more info is needed please ask!
Thanks!!
 
Plus my experience with the Sohal's is that they will kill anything you put in the tank after they get established.
