Can marine aquarium equipment be used with a freshwater setup?

I have a pile of marine aquarium equipment, most of which was very expensive. I wanted to do freshwater next time, and was wondering if any of my marine equipment would be of any use. Here’s a list of the stuff I’m most concerned about.

Large canister filter
Protein skimmer
UV Sterilizer
Power Compact Light
Powerheads

Thats most of it.
If anyone could tell me if any of this would be useful with freshwater, that would be great.

Thanks

The only item which shouldn’t be used is the protein skimmer. These rely on the higher specific gravity caused by the salt to create smaller bubbles to which the dissolved porteins attach for removal. In freshwater, you don’t get as small of bubbles, so they’re really inefficient at what they are intended to do.

All the rest you can certainly use, just rinse it well to remove any traces of salt and calcium deposits. If you have any tought spots, use a little dilute vinegar or lemon juice and be sure to rinse well.
