Is this a fair stock?

Hi all. I've got a 200G saltwater tank ready to be stalked with saltwater fish. I'm new to predators, so I was wondering if this was a fair stock for a 200g.

X1 Volitan Lionfish
X1 Picasso Triggerfish
X2 Arrowhead Soapfish
X1 Blueline Grouper (I've been thinking this one gets too big. Will a honeycomb work?)

thanks in advance.

I think any grouper in a 200 gallon will outgrow it in less than a year. And if a soap fish died doesn't it leak toxins in the tank?

A picasso trigger will likely nip at the fins of the lion.

The grouper will be borderline for that sized tank, but when larger may be likely to hunt tankmates.

A soapfish will release it's grammistin toxin if harassed or in danger, not under most circumstances, even if dead.

Triggers and lions aren't good pairs. Triggers nip the lions fins.
