Dual reactor or cannister?

[Xxxtremewv]

I currently run a 70g tank that was set up for FW with a fluval cannister filter that i decided to do SW after the fact. Now im looking at putting one of BRS dual reactors pn it for GFO and carbon. The tank does have a hob skimmer, so would i be ok to get rid of the cannister and just put the reactor bank on? All i can see myself losing with that the mechanical filter from the sponges and the water movement from the out put on the cannister.

Thanks for the advice!

Assuming that you have a decent amount of live rock and it's been in there for a while and established then you should be fine removing the canister filter. I would do frequent (daily) ammonia tests for a week or so after removing it just to be safe, but I don't think you will see any issues.
