Fish Compatibility

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone could help. I have a 118 gallon fish only tank and I would like to add some more fish to it but just don't know what will work. First I have a Blue Through trigger and I love the personality of triggers. Can I get another trigger? I was told maybe a pink tail trigger because the 2 types really don't bother anyone. The next questing is about Tangs. I have a yellow and a hippo. They get along fine and never have a problem with the 2. I was told that because of the different shape I could get a Naso also If I could I would love to because it is such a beautiful fish. The last question is about a dwarf lion. I would like to get one but if he gets into a fight with one of my other fish, can he kill them with his venom??

If anyone has experience with any of these scenarios I would appreciate it.

Thanks
Sal

I have read that lionfish can go in nearly any tank with no fish of equal size or smaller. Provide the lion with caves for hiding places to protect your other fish (if it gets attacked, it can escape, which may keep the aggressor from getting stung).
So, according to this info, if triggerfish (which I know nothing about) are bigger than the dwarf lion, you're good.

you can add a naso tang with your other 2 tangs but i would reccomend takin both tangs out and put in a tempory tank move a few bits around then reintroduce ,, as for the lion he should be ok as long as he doesnt get threatened and making sure the other fish are bigger or equal size
