Decided over the weekend to switch from fresh to salt. The tank is a 125gl. I have two penguin 350s and 2 of the marineland C360 canister filter. I bought the phosphate-zorb and Ken products nitrate lock for media inside the canisters because everything I've read on the salt is that these are the two biggest fish killers. Anyway I do not wanna do the live rock or a reef, what kind of fake rock if any can I put in there? would the fake concrete be ok? Also is it ok to run the sponge filters inside the tank? I have them hooked up to the powerheads, I plan on putting a few speices of puffer and a lion inside the tank so nothing small will be in there to eat the sponges. I filled the tank about half way with the nurti-sea live sea water and mixed the rest, how long should I wait before testing a few damsels in it? Thanks again for the help
Is my first setup ok?

First off it would it have been a lot better to use a sump and live rock is a must. I recommend you start with a fowlr setup and its not a good idea to ever mix lions with puffer fish.
Also if you do want to add some fish to help cycle your tank get 2 clownfish and dose the tank with some purchasable bacteria.
Damsels are cheaper usually, but they both work.
I have read several times of people having a porcupine puffer with a lion, I wouldn't do it but it has been done.
I would get 2 volitans and 1 snowflake eel for that tank...

add the damsels around the time you cycle the aquarium.
i reccomend dr. tims one and only.

sorry, but damsels are not compatible with lionfish.
