Yes it does. Remember this is not a reef tank so you don't need to keep nitrates very low, as you need to in a reef tank, and this setup will work well. Do you need to spend big bucks on a Deltec skimmer? Probably not, I would get a cheapier skimmer and save the bucks. You may want to also place some power heads in the tank for water movement.

On my 240, I have about 150 lbs of live rock, wet dry filter with 5 gal bio balls, and an ASM G5 protein skimmer. My tank is heavily stocked and water quality is just fine.
