Hi:
No real concerns except...be wary of putting a 2" fish(the dragon) w/ the dwarf lion.
In a tank like this i add the most powerful skimmer you can afford, and thats about it. The DSB/LR will work finde for filtration, but you have a nice group of waste makers.
i wouls also only feed 3 times week, it will keep your nitrates down.
email me directly and i will send you my lionfish info sheet. It has lots of husbandry tips on keeping lions.
You do know by next yr you'll be buying a bigger tank....the snowflake will be about 2 ft when grown. The lunare wrasse about 10-12". The yellow lunare you describe must be a yellow coris wrasse of some type, as lunares are multi-colored w/ blues/greens. The dragon wrasse(if it gets big) will also be about a foot. Dragon wrasses are cool as juvenile (they turn over rocks and such), but get ugly when adults. The dwarf is really the only small fish as an adult.
good luck

What would the optimum size tank be? I have been thinking about a preditor tank with an eel, puffer, trigger, and dwarf lion. Any suggestions.
