Yes :-)
Kien, all you need are a couple of heaters. If you do 20% water changes every week ( the old water from the reef), you might not even need a skimmer. All depends how many fish you have. Another reason you might want to keep it on a separate system is that you could hook up a u/v for the fowlr tank and not have to worry about ich or other diseases.
