Do I need my Emperor 280 filter when I have a Canister Filter?

Howdy,

About a month ago I bought an Rena XP3 for my 46 gallon bowfront reef tank. I also have a Emperor 280 filter. I got the Rena XP3 because I wasn't satisfied with the Emperor.

Now that I have the XP3 and a Coralife Super skimmer do I even need the Emperor 280 filter? I've been just running it without filters for water flow but I already have two Maxi-jet 1200's in there.

Can I toss that Emperor 280 filter then?

Any tips are much appreciated!

You really dont need any filters at all except to do carbon if you want to use them.
