saltwater to freshwater

[saltwater]

Hello, I have a 30 gal. saltwater aquarium that I've been thinking in converting to freshwater. Is this ok? The filter is a skilter with protein skimmer in it, is it ok to use it too? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Oooo! Another one comes over to the dark side *grin*

Not sure if the skilter will be an appropriate filter for FW. Forget the skimmer; won't work. The size ratio to tank for FW skimmers is so ridiculous its not worth it anyway. I'm not clear how well the skilter will work in terms of mechanical/biological filtration. Maybe someone else with some experience with it can chime it.
