I know from experience that 2 adult males will not tolerate each other in a 6' 180. Not sure about a 220, but I wold guess that the extra height would not make a difference. Would go so far as to say the even an 8' tank would not work.

I have a similar situation in my 240G. I have a male that is about 4.5" that was starting to color up then at a club meeting I picked up a 7" male. After I added the new male my other male has actually lost all the color he was getting, but the bigger male doesn't bother him at all. However they are both still fairly young and not real big yet so this could change.
