go inverts first. Cleaner fish really aren't needed for other fish: they'll be healthy so they won't need them: but DO quarantine. Tangs are way susceptible to ich, which is like fleas if it gets loose in your tank, only fatal.
I do think you need to ask about the triggers: they may eat their peaceful tankmates. Queen and titan triggers will chase down and attack scuba divers. I'm not sure the disposition of the little ones is better---just their ambitions are smaller.
And consult about appetites on the dwarf lion: that's still a very big mouth. I had an eel who seemed to have a small mouth---he himself was about the diameter of a fountain pen---who ate 300.00 worth of his tankmates inside two weeks, and required a debuild of my tank to catch him.
