You can use it to circulate water and run carbon. That's about all a HOB filter is going to do on a SW tank.
Running it along with the skimmer isn't a bad idea though.
 
I started with a HOB filter and skimmer. I have coral and fish with no problem. I just tired of cleaning the pads every three days. It will work fine for fish only. Get a HOB skimmer and you'll be fine.
