Stocking suggestions for a 150 gallon saltwater tamk, please? Also, supplies needed for a tank like this would be helpful. I would like to have a few GSP's and F8's, but what can go with them?

The F8s probably won't do well in full marine. I have a ocerallis with my gsps right now. Clowns are pretty tough. They are doing fine for now, but I am not sure what will happen when the GSPs get bigger. I had a valentini with my gsps also, but they kept on attacking it, so I had to take the valentini out.

Maybe even a brackish tank? Ill take suggestions for any kind of tank, just looking for lots and lots of colorful fish!

Here's a post mostly about what not to put in with the gsps

For marine tanks, maybe something like chromis might be good. They are usually top swimmers and are fast. They probably will leave the gsps alone and vice versa. They will eat dry food and won't touch shellfish and snails that gsps will eat.

I wouldn't suggest putting F8s and GSPs together. I think the F8s will tend to be picked on. My two F8s were rescues from a tank at the LFS that had them together. They were malnourished and picked on a lot by the GSPs.

Plus, F8s require low brackish while GSPs will eventually need high end brackish to marine.
