Agreed, cannister filters are not really a good choice for a reef
tank, they manufacture nitrates at an alarming rate. Some reefers
will tell stories of amazingly high nitrates for years on end, but
it's just not worth the risk. Trade\sell the 204 and aquire the best
skimmer you can afford.

I'm setting up my 10 gal reef (LR & LS) currently and was planning to
use both a Prizm Skimmer (Deluxe model) as well as an Eheim 2211
canister filter. Are you saying that it's a bad idea to use the
canister filter even in conjunction with the skimmer? Don't I need
some form of mechanical filtration?
