What skimmer are you running on your tank? If its a good one then it would probably be fine if its a no good one like the seaclone I would keep it on, but then again it all depends on your bio load and if you keep up with regular water changes. On your size tank if the bio load is not that high and you do normal water changes I think it would be more than fine, however, I would watch the perameters like biff said if you try. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
