Welcome to 3reef. The only problem you will have with a reef tank is the current fish you have are not reef safe.

Fortunately (unlike triggerfish) they will not eat anything that they can't swallow in one bite(typically)
The goatfish will eat smaller shrimp, and can get big enough to take out a cleaner/peppermint/CBS i believe.
The eel is in the same boat as the lion.
I dont know about cowfish
Butt, that said, you can add coral and lighting  Just make sure you place things so the lion cant sting you :p

Hello and welcome to 3reef!
Best of luck with your tank and or your switch/addition of a reef tank...
What kind of Moray do you have?
Your best bet is to read and research before diving into(no pun intended) a reef tank!
As mentioned, your present fish are not reef safe(to an extent)! Also you will probably have to look at new lighting, a skimmer, more stringent water conditions and the list goes on!
This isn't meant to deter you from getting involved with a reef set-up, just to make you aware and better your chances of success with a reef tank! _________ 125gal.w/Mag9.5 return(dual megaflow)>Mag7 pump Aqua Cev180skimmer.Wave2k Hamilton Reefstar(2)250watthqi(mh)pend.a Yellow, Naso Tang Red Lip Blenny Percula Clown Demoiselles Niger Trigger F.
