Ok I am going to do a 240 (8x2X2) gallon tank. I will have around 300 lbs of live rock, 1 to 2 inches of sand bed. Not sure of the size of the sump just yet or the pump that will go inside of it, shooting for 3 to 5x turnover of the tank from the sump. I have the Tunze TS24 for circulation (3175gph each, but these will be running at alterante times with the control box so i don't have fish flying out of the tank!!!!) I am thinking a large Tunze or Euroreef skimmer.

My concern is stocking the tank...here is my list which i am sure might be wayyyyyy off line, and i may have to delelte a few of these fish, but these are my favorites that i would LIKE to keep in this tank.

Here is the list along with the MAX size of the said fish...of course when i get these fish, they will be mostly 3 to 5 inches each

Snowflake Eel (30 inch)
Zebra Moray Eel (18 inch)
Clown Trigger (18 inch)
HumaHuma Picasso Trigger (10 inch)
Tang (not sure of the type yet)
Angel (not sure of type yet)
Saddle Valentini Puffer (5 inch) or Blue Dot puffer (5 inch)
Antennata Lionfish (8 inch)
Fu Manchu Lionfish (4 inch)

Please let me know your thoughts/opinions of stocking this tank...and if some of these fish aren't compatable, ones you would replace them with

Thanks in advance!!!
 
Both the angel and the tang would have to be super big and super boisterous to survive in that environment?
 
I'd agree with NexDog. You'll need to start with a full grown large angel and a more agressive full grown tang (purple or achilies) and add everything else as much smaller specimens after the angel & tang are settled and maybe you'd be OK.
