Default Fluval 205 filter ok??

Hi, I am wondering how well the filter that came with my 45Ga corner tank will work for a FOWLR tank? It's a Fluval 205 cannister filter. I know Sumps are better, and plan to build one but for now, cycling the tank and getting a couple Ocellaris Clown and some invertebrates, will it be OK? I will be adding powerheads to increase water flow in the tank, thinking of a couple Hydor Korialis 3 heads.

Main thing I am wondering is should I pull this filter, ebay it for what I can get, and build/get a sump, or will it work to save cash right now. Still reeling form the $1000 price tag for the setup.
