46 gallon filtration question.

Post by jeff_purdon »

so ive got a 46 gallon bowfront tank sitting at my brothers and im kicking around the idea of converting it to a fowlr tank for GSP. ive the the GSP for about 2.5 years now in a 29 gal fowlr tank and i want to give him a little upgrade. question is can i just use live rock and a bigger protein skimmer for filtration? im hoping to avoid any sort of refugium or anything like that. thanks in advance

I had 70lbs LR with a Backpac skimmer on my 46.
