Because of their bad survival record and the fish you already have I would say no smaller than 75 gallon and some people may say you still need to go bigger. But I would really rethink the copper banded butterfly just because they are difficult to keep. sorry for the disappointment.
depending on the size of your tank a triggerfish makes an excellent beginner fish. They are very hardy, very beautiful,and have a lot of personality, however they are aggressive.
You can keep a fuzzy dwarf lionfish with a sharpnose toby puffer (they are a dwarf puffer) I would recommend the valentini toby puffer. You could try the volitan with the valentini but I wouldn't advice you too, but supposably the valetini is toxic to fish if they are ingested so fish don't...
assuming you have no fish now, I would favor a type of blenny, one of my favorites is the redlip blenny. other I would suggest a firefish goby they excellent coloration IMO.

I am selling my Goldentail Moray Eel. He is very healthy and very beautiful. Yellow with Dark Brown spots, around 12 inches long, very gentle. I paid $120, I would like $50 but I will negotiate, so make me an offer. buyer pays shipping.
Another thing that is great about acrylic is you can get all sorts of shapes and sizes that are just not possible with glass. such as a completely round tank.
They are GREAT if they are are in a huge tank and the queen is the ONLY fish in the tank. You can sometimes get away with a small queen with other aggressive fish such as big angels, or groupers, eels.
Hope this helps
I housed a clown trigger for a friend before but it was only for a short time and I was wondering how fast do they grow? I have kept many other triggers such as Picasso, Bursa, Blackbelly, Bluelined and none of these ever grew fast.
