I have 10 tiger barbs 10 brilliant Rasboras 10 diamond tetras in my 90 gallon I was wondering if Roseline sharks can live with them. My real worry is the tiger barbs. If the barbs are a issue, can they go in my 125 with no filtration and not total cycled (no power strip yet)

You can't put fish in a non-filtered tank ..
 
I would think they should be fine in there with your current stock
 
The roselines will be fine in a 90 with barbs espicially with 10 of them. When you keep 10 to 12 tigers in a tank they tend to hang out in a school and spar amoungst them selves. When kept singily or just with a few they can be very nippy with other fish. Roselines can get to 5 inches and are pretty fast also.
 
The barbs will be fine in the 125 so long as you do enough water changes to keep everything in check. If all you need is a power strip, then buy one. Power strips are $10 and sold almost everywhere.
 
Sure you can. Just don't expect them to live that's all.

I cant. When I try to put fish in an uncycled tank, my canopy doesn't grant me assess!

Yes you can but it requires a lot of additional work and not every species can survive without a filter. Mostly smaller tetras/bettas/etc can survive without a filter if you do very frequent water changes. It also depends on the size of the tank. Obviously though I would not recommend having any fish in a non filtered tank.
