Hey guys and gals Im looking to start my first salt water tank!
the more I research and browse around I am learning I really like the more 'Agressive' type fish
my buddy told me to check out the forum and ask for advice
he has a beautiful tank and all mostly from the tips and advice from you guys so here it is
Im purchasing 125 gal Tank was looking to stock with 1 Blue Ribbon EEL, 1 Volitan Lion Fish,1 Humu picasso trigger fish,1 Yellow Tang, and possibly a small puffer.. that being said will these fish be able to live together? Is this a good size tank for these fish and if so could i possibly add more? like I said im really new to this but this is something I have wanted to do for a very long time and I could use all the advice I can get. i really want to make sure I do it the right way and the smart way
P.S. I also posted this in the agressive fish section but im just looking for a quicker response I am very excited to start this!
Thanks Guys!

I think the eel would be just fine. The ribbon eels are a little different than the snake type eels...they are also finiky eaters. Choose either the lionfish OR trigger and build the stock around the one you choose.

the stock list looks alright except the lion and the trigger. They dont mix well and the trigger will slowly pick it to death.

im no expert on lions. thats where saxman comes in, but im pretty sure an adult volitans would be fine in a 125 and i think they will leave starfish alone. but dont take my word on that.
