I'd say yes, but.........


You don't say what size and brand skimmer, what size or brand of canister, will there be a sump? And 50-70lbs of rock would be a good start.

Be sure to clean that canister often, at least weekly, and you should be fine. Canister filter tend to be detritus traps, which can foul water quickly.
