Yes you can, but you will kill the bacteria (different between salt and fresh) and get die off which will produce ammonia and start a cycle or mini-cycle. Why do you want to run a canister on a SW tank? What size, how much LR, how long since setup, etc.? Please give us details on the tank.

could take the filter off clean it kill off the bacteria wash it out so its like a new filter.
