If you're talking about dwarfs maybe a 180g or 240g.
If hes talking dwarfs I would say like 75-100 gals.

Also Sigeia, all those lions will have a big bio-load so you're going to need one heck of a skimmer.
Id probably agree. A 180 would be enough with good filtration. They get big but they don't swim like a tang. There slow moving just lurking around the tank. You want enough to water to make the tank stable and enough so they can move around, not miles of swimming room.

I guess, but if I were the one doing it, I'd go with a 240g. JMO

i disagree about the dwarfs in the 180-240g...i had a nearly full grown dwarf in my 55g...the dont require much swimming room because they dont swim very much...the pretty much just pearch on rocks...
