Direction of my tank debate

So I have a small cleaner crew of 6 margarita snails, 8 little crabs, a serpent star, and a Fire clown. I also have about 8 very well developed mushroom corals on a rock that I purchased a few weeks back. I have 80 pounds of lr (35 of it is base rock being seeded now). I'm about to start making my own rock and purchase more as I find good deals. I also plan to get a fox face soon.
My big debate is should I continue to go with a community tank and get corals and such or I also REALLY really want like a lionfish and a snowflake eel but those are not reef safe. I'm at a good point to where I could probably go in either direction but now is the time for decisions.
What's a person to do?
It's a 125 gallon tank.

I think non fish people find community tanks more interesting/attractive, a tank that size sounds like it could be quite a conversation piece whne you have new friends come over

Well lions and SFEs are reef safe however they will eat ornamental shrimp and crabs so a cleaner crew would be rough. You could do those 2 in a reef however. Hope that helped

also they will eat any fish smaller then them however so you wouldn't want anything really small like clown gobies or small damsels or anything
