You will need a protein skimmer and 1 to 1 1/2 lbs. of LR per gallon. I think the LS ration is 1 pound per gallon. A heater box should tell you how many watts you need for a 40 gallon tank.

just to make sure i hope you know about cycling your tank
that is the most important thing to do or the fish will die and if your a begginer you should know some of the prices for supplies and setting it up :happyfish
