Following, reef or FOWLR? With that big a tank i would do a FOWLR, think it would be awesome with some big fish and an eel.

I was thinking about another goby, but what I really want is after a year of running to get a pair of mandarins, one red, one green

Looks like you've got this pretty well planned out. Outcome should be very nice. I'll also be looking out for the 300 fowlr build in the future!

Ohhh sorry lol, 150 cubes arent that big of a foot print though, i would go with a normal 150 just personal preference as i already have a cube and it limits your stock to a bunch of small fish.
