i have a 60 gal FOWLR + LS setup running for over 6 months now. I have a aqua c remora protein skimmer also and its does a great job.
MY question is at this point Do i really need my can filter running anymore?
i have 2 powerheads so i have enough water flow.
will it be ok since i have LR + LS in regards to biological filtration?

If you have 10x + turnover, go adead and take it off line if you want.
You might want to keep it around though. I use a filter (wisper 3) for running carbon and such. I also use it for the hospital tank. (Just don't use copper in it then use it on a reef tank.)

I keep mine, for mechanical filtration. A lot of people don't use anything for mech filtration. Just make sure you keep it cleaned out.:happyfish
