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'm doing a huge reef. Going to build a 300 gal next. That will be fowlr

Sounds good, how about a shrimp/goby pair also?

 

[Diesel84]

My prawn goby is already paired with a pistol. I have snails ( nessarius, turbo, astrea, margarita) 3 cleaner shrimp, 3 peppermint, 2 fire, ruby emerald, emerald hermit, pom-pom and a sponge crab that will come over from my 75

 

[Diesel84]

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!

 

[Diesel84]

I learned from my mistakes with my 75 I have had. Taught my wife a lot too, she has a tank for sea horses. Been learning and lots of research

Was the 75 your first SW?

 

[Diesel84]

Yes the 75 was. Never put corals in it. Had fish only.

Loll I was talking about OPs planned 300 fowlr but yes mine will be either a 93 or 150 cube, no bigger than that before I get my own place

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.

Oh so this will be new for you, i think it is gonn be awesome! How about another tang and cut out some of the schooling fish?

 

[Diesel84]

I like community, the only other tang I like is Chevron

 

[Fishman007]

Powder brown?white cheek?convict?scopas?kole?tomini? Any of those you like?

 

[Diesel84]

I'd have to look around
