Converting Aquaclear filters to refuge

[Reef_surfer]

i was wondering if anyone has done a conversion on the aqua clear fliter to refuge. i have seen some threads on how to do it but i was wondering if that is enough to replace a protien skimmer. i have a 33g reef tank with a coralife super skimmer 65 and an aquaclear 200 filter. anyone have any info or advice as to whether the conversion is enough
