Questions about tank size and fish mix

Mmmk so I was originally going to get a used innovative marine sr120 but they guy hasn't texted me back and I have just found out that that size shallow reef is discontinued:spin1: sooo I might have to get the sr80 instead. I really like these shallow reefs because I am very short and maintaining taller tanks always gives me bruises. There was a sr80 at work and I actually enjoyed dealing with that tank!

Anyways my end goal for my new reef is mainly stony corals, my pair of golden dwarf morays, mated pair of mandarins, and a bunch of peaceful fish. Mainly fairy wrasses!

The thing is I have a few questions about my mix of wrasses. Would a 80 gallon be out of the question for some of these? Would it cause aggression? Do I have too many fish on my stock list? I know bigger is better but it may not be an option :/

Fairy wrasse list so far....C. lubbocki, C. laboutei, C. rhomboidalis, C. exquisitus, C. nahacki, C. solorensis OR C. aurantidorsalis (or would I be better off cutting them out completely?)
Can multiple Lanceolatus mix if they are all green on the peaceful chart? If so I would like all three, if not I will just pick one. C. jordani, C. Claire, and C. Magma.
Same thing for the Lunatus complex! C. Lunatus, C. brunneus, and C. isosceles?

I used this for reference
 
In my time having wrasses I have had behaved and just plain idiot wrasses that did not like eachother. I love wrasses though because they have lots of personality. As long as you keep them feed and happy they should behave and they work good with any other fish, ive never had a problem before. I try to keep my fish at 1 per 10 gallons. Wrasses like company in a tank.
