Do I have enough filtration?

I have a 40 gallon breeder being filtered by an aquian 30 rated for 200 gallons per an hour and a Tunze 9004 skimmer.

Is this enough filtration?
 
What all do you have or plan to have in your tank? I've got a 40b and prefer not to use any type of external canister filter. I have a 20 gal sump and between my DT and sump have about 60lbs or so of LR along with a skimmer on my sump. I have 7 total fish in my DT and my nitrates don't get over 10 in a two week period between WC's. Nitrates are the key to knowing if you have enough filtration.
 
How much live rock do you have? If you have at least probably 30 lbs, along with your skimmer you won't need anything else. Ditch the hob filter.
