Way too small.
Blackedge Eel maybe.
Volitan Lionfish... ever seen an adult?
Humu Humu... again, ever seen an adult?
Lunare Wrasse... and again, ever seen an adult?
It will work for a few months, but you're going to need a tank about 3 times that size to keep all of those together.

Agreed
Sounds like a good list for a 180.

The Blackedge Moray should be OK with the Lion, since they feed on crustations, smaller fish and so on..... Most lions and eels do not mix, eels prey upon lions in the wild, with the exception of a few.
The Humu Trigger may eventually kill the Lion, they are notorious for doing that and is just a bad combination. Lions are not aggressive fish they are predators, the trigger can easily pick the Lion To Death.

I would do a 125 long with dual overflows. Have a ~45 gallon refugium or wet/dry sump. Instead of the canister filter, get a protien skimmer (ASM G2 IMO). You can have the cannister filter if you like too, it will allow you to decrease the amount of water changes required for your bio-load.
Lighting depends on the $ you want to spend, but I would think that PC lighting should suffice.
What really counts in your tank will be the live rock. The more the better. This is a natual filter for your SWF tank. Rule of thumb is 1# per gallon.

Although triggers & lions seem like a natural pair; in my experience, almost any trigger will start butchering the lion by going their after the flowing fins and beat the slower lion to most food. Nobody pushes a big lion around; but I agree 100% with V-Lioness. They get a bad rap as far as being aggressive, I've never had a lion bother any fish he didn't have a chance of swallowing. The big Arfican Volitan (man, they grow fast) I have now lives with fish that would never make anyone's aggressive fish list. Except maybe the big GSM clown- but she isn't aggressive, just territorial.
