It should be fine with the lion.
Depending on the size of the maroon and the size of the snowflake, the clown may become a snack. The groupers and the eel may also present a problem. And clean up crew that you may have will eventually get eaten if they pass in front of him or he can get to them.
Not sure about the drums.

Hmm i c the clown is goin in my 55 gal. when its done cycling.
i have plenty of room for him to hide i put a tunnel with pvc tht twist and turns and its burried under my sand ... i have seen people with groupers and snowflakes befor.
It can work, but in my opinion only on two conditions - the eel is quite large and the groupers aren't big enough to swallow the eel. Snowflakes don't tend to bother fish too much, but will eagerly eat mobile invertebrates.
