I don't wanna sound like the TP here but make sure you know what you are getting into with the achilles. Hard to keep, need a large, well established tank and a ton of flow among other things and they're not cheap.

in my opinion, your ninety gallon wouldn't be big enough for an Achilles. i've seen 1000 gallon systems with an Achilles that looked bored.

dang oh well i guess it'll save me some money in the long run. But two tangs would be fine with maybe a chevron replacing the achilies and anything else on that list look out of place and

so i just quite a few fish since my last post and some inverts but still no coral and ever since my last fish add my tank has this brownish slime covering assuming slime algae so i was wondering if my strategy of more frequent water changes and less feeding might help the tank get back to normal. and what would help me with the cloudy water

and here are some pics of the inhabitants so far

the brown slime stuff is diatoms imo and they are there with the start of most new tanks. You can try using carbon to clear up the water. Also i think you might have added a bit too many inhabitants to quick
