Skip the moorish idol. Apart from their dismal survival rate in captivity, the streamer would be a lovely lure for the clown trigger. Just not the right fish for that grouping.
Ditto for the lionfish now that I think of it...and the triggers could mess with the eyes of the shark as well.
Personally I would go back to the drawing board on the fish list.

In general though I would say around a 200g and I would aim higher.

for that list of fish minimum of 300+ gal
humu humu trigger in time will pick at everyone in the tank possibly kill them not a good combo with a bottom dwelling shark
-clown trigger
-black banded cat shark.needs a 300 gal minimun
-porcupine puffer
-morish idol i wouldnt do this fish they are almost impossible to feed in captivity large aquairums such as seaworld and others have better survival rates with the fish because they have extremely large tanks and ample supplies of corals to feed upon as they do in the wild.and have the finances to replace when needed
-powdered blue tang(ich magnet will be completely stressed by triggers)
-volitan lionfish he will do ok for some time if given a peicful enviroment triggers also harass these fish causing them to go on hunger stricks
-fire coral eel, must keep very tight lids on tank to prevent escape

you would need a VERY large tank, especially with the cat shark. in general, sharks need very large tanks. i read in a thread about a guy with a 4000 gallon tank in his living room with sharks and rays. it was pretty cool, he had lots of pics. but ya, it would have to be a grande style tank

fire coral eel
This eel is better known as the Goldentail Moray (Gymnothorax miliaris) and wouldn`t have in with sharks or triggers.

I would definitely look toward getting a 300 gallon tank. Also, as Ophiura said, the triggers and puffer will most likely eat the eyes of the shark.
