I've got a 29g laying around and I want to do something Saltwater with it, I'm thinking a reef tank with a fuzzy Lionfish and a Orange Toadfish but I wanted to see if anyone else has some better ideas, I want it to be a reef either way so if anybody could suggest some cool fish besides what I just said I would greatly appreciate it.

Neither one of those fish will be whole heartedly reef safe.

Well, the toad might be, they arent very active, but if it were me and I wanted a succesful reef tank, I woulnt put them in.

What I meant was reef as in corals, Not reef fish. I know they will eat any small fish, It will be just them alone in the tank unless I get a better idea for a reef tank with some little fish.

You have to use reef fish in a reef tank with corals. Reef fish (reef safe fish) wiill not harm corals other may. He's saying the orange toadfish may harm corals.

The Canuck told me they both would do fine in a reef tank with corals...

I'm not saying they would or wouldn't, your post seemed pretty confused as to what heathd was saying ;)

I really can't see how a toadfish would damage corals. But anyway still looking for ideas.

Lionfish wont touch corals, toad fish wont either. Period. Though they mite poke them with a fin or "walk" on them lol and if the rocks are unstable they could be nocked over, but generaly speaking they are a non issue with corals.
