Basicly the RTC is the limiting factor. With him included your gonna need a pond, and most of the other stock will eventually be food for him. If you get rid of the RTC id say 300+ with atleast a 6'x3' footprint. 8'x3' being ideal. I'm not being rude, just realistic. RTC's are not meant for home aquaria!
First welcome to MFK see that you haven't been here long.
And you're either going to need a very large tank around a 1,000 gallons OR a pond, but not one of those pre-made hard black plastic ponds you're going to have to go DIY on this one, if you plan on having that kinda stock.

First of all welcome to MFK. You have great taste is fish, your best bet though is to research the tank needs of each fish individually. You will also need to research whether or not these fish will make compatible tank mates for one another. You'll get lots of replies, many are going to be good advice but many will just be personal opinion that don't hold water. Just as stating the tank volume is incomplete advice, volume is worth nothing unless it is contained within the right dimensions.
There are sub forums for all the types fish you listed and there you will get much better info, generally from keepers experienced in keep those type fish.
