Currently have a 40 gallon set up for a gsp. I have about 2 inches of livesand, 80 lbs of live rock. A coralife 65 protien skimmer, a aquaclear 110, and a couple power heads. Is this a good setup or am i missing anything?

Forgot to metion its a 40 gallon breeder and i have another 75 lbs of LR to use if it would be beneficial.

Looks good. Check water parameters as you go.

Sounds great! Do you have a source for GSPs already in SW?

I have not found a source with them in saltwater. I have seen some in low end brackish.

Take time to drip-acclimate then.

I figured i would have to, thanks for the advise!

I do have an extra protien skimmer, would the tank benefit more having the extra skimmer and taking off the aquaclear 110 or is the 110 more valuable then the extra skimmer?

I would use the Aquaclear for flow in the tank. If you are going total SW with it, then remove all the filter media & buttocks live rock rubble.

Get a couple of powerheads too for circulation.

That setup looks good to me. You didnt mention the obvious things like heaters and such but i'm sure you have them. We'd love to see a picture. I particularly like seeing other people's live rock placement, so i can get new ideas for when i eventually re-landscape.

Is is going to be a FOWLR or reef?

I do have a heater and powerheads. Just picked up the little guy a couple days ago.
