My dream fish list is
Porcupine Puffer
Koran Angel
French Angel
Emperor Angel
Snowflake Eel
Harlequin Tusk
Arc eye hawkfish
Volitan Lionfish
Humu Humu Trigger
Clown Trigger
 
Scrap the lion. Wont work with puffers, angels or triggers.

Your list is also too aggressive for a lionfish.
 
I guess I would be higher than the others, because of three issues:

Those puffers get quite large. I've seen one in a public aquarium that had to have been close to two feet.

Mixing full-size angels takes a lot of space. I would account for a couple hundred gallons for each.

Clown triggers are holy terrors.

For these reasons, I would look at something like a 12 x 4 ft. Around 800-900 gallons.
 
If you change your list to

Picasso trigger
Koran angel
Emperor angel
Snowflake eel
Arc eye hawkfish
Rabbitfish
Some sort of wrasse

You could get away with a 300g with an oversized skimmer.
 
Thanks so much for the advice! If I got rid of two of the Angels and the clown trigger could I do a 500 gallon tank?
