yes you could have several.
i had a lion in my 55 and he did fine. a 125 would be more then fine.
reminder...most of the day/time they just sit in one spot.

some guy on grimreefers says that a V.lion will get WAY to big for a 125gal
But i dont think you can keep several

I have read up on this on a lionfish expert's website, and he says that the volitans can be kept in 75 gal and up. I have mine in a 55, and if that's about all there is, and not too much decor, a lion should be fine.

Dr Frank Marini would be one of the experts on the subject. Here you have an excellent article about lionfishes:

and this is very important reading if you own a lionfish or have one in your plans:
