IMO you may want less tangs like one or two if your going to have that many fish. Is this reef or FOWLR?

You might have an issue with the Achilles and the PB Tang.....My Achilles had major attitude and he was the last introduced into my 240......My PB was 2x his size.....My blonde male Naso could have cared less about either....They all settled in till I haphazardly introduced a Powder Brown....WWIII broke out and they beat the crap out of the Powder Brown before I could get him out....Needless to say had to find a new home for the brown.....
If I were going to do all 3 tangs they would be introduced all at the same time....The Achilles and Powder Blue will more than likely give you fits with Ick to start....My Achilles spent almost 5 months in QT before being introduced into the 240. Everytime I thought he was good, and would go to catch him, he would flare up.......
All in all the list looks good, but wouldn't do 4 tangs.....Honestly 8' seems like a lot, but those guys get big and need space.....
