If you have live rock +/- live sand with good water flow and a low bioload, especially if you have macroalgae in the main tank, you should be fine for at least the short term. I'd check water parameters regularly while you figure out what to do with your pump and skimmer.
Now that I've said that, what is your bioload and what was your skimmer/filtration setup?
