How big is your sump? A sump is, in my opinion, not optional for a marine tank. Canister filters, are optional, in my experience.
So long as you have two types of bio media, the carbon you can take or leave.
On my salt water tank, I have an Ehiem as well, I use sponge and bio balls, generic from Big Als. I have also a protein skimmer, diatom filter, large sum with sand and live rock, power heads of course, and an established reef.
