Stocking List/ tank size?

[acowens2000]

I'm currently running a 55G fish/reef tank and all is going well, but I have been planning on starting a new, MUCH larger system of agressive fish only. Here is a list of the fish I would like in it. How large of a tank would you guys suggest for them and ideas about compatability?
Volitan Lion
Clown Trigger
Powder Blue Tang
Picasso Trigger
Emporer Angel
Naso Tang

Volitan Lion Lion do not get along with triggers
Clown Trigger Very mean fish will kill lion and grows large 1'-8"
Powder Blue Tang This a big swimmer needs a 6' long tank
Picasso Trigger possible not with lion
Emporer Angel Large angels need large tanks, try a dwarf
Naso Tang another large tang, all tangs need 6' long tank
180 for most of these fish, except Emporer would need 220+.

I'd say a minimum of 180 gallon tank, larger if possible, you're looking at some large fish.
Triggers, especially an aggressive trigger such as a Clown and Angels are terrible tank makes for lions. They're known to harass lion fish and nip at their fins, and in many cases end up killing the lion. You really need to look into your compatibility with these guys.

For a PBT, Naso, and the angel, I wouldn't go shorter than an 8' tank and no less than 24" width. These fish are either large and/or big swimmers that will get "cabin fever" and become aggressive.
As for the lion, TommieLynn is correct...they're bad juju with "reef" triggers (planktonic feeders are OK) and large species angels. Take a look at the vid in this lionfish care guide (scroll down to the section on Pterois volitans and click on the photo of the trigger): http://www.lionfishlair.com/careguides/lionfish.shtml
