Will a naso tang fit in???

I have a 125g fowlr w/ a 18" zebra eel, 6" yellow tang, 5" hippo tang, and 5" russells lionfish. Would a naso tang fit in??? I do have 8'x2'x30" 300g tank that is sitting in my garage that will be setup in a year or so. Do you think that this will work out until then?

I think it all depends on the size of Naso you get. If you get him small (2-4") it would work until then, but if he was any bigger I would advise against it.

As long as your eel doesnt see it as a meal you should be good to go.

You'll be fine, then. Just be sure to set up that 300g!

the zebra eel isn't really a threat to fish. it feeds mainly on crustaceans.

the 300 needs some work. I need to buff out the whole tank and maybe move the over flow. then work on plumbing and filtration.

Yes you'd be able to house it in the 125g if you're going to setup the 300g soon. The only worry would be the eel, but I think you'd be fine.
