protien skimmer?

[village surf]

i am buying a full wet dry set up from my lfs
this includes overflow box and all the plumbing.
my question is do i need i protien skimmer if my biological set up is rated for 60 gallons if i have a 75 gallon. thanx for any info. <img src="graemlins//confused.gif" border="0" alt="[confused]" />

fish only or reef??
if a reef,then you definitley need a skimmer too, the nitrate levels will be hard enough tomaintain with a wet dry, you need the skimmer to help with them, in a fish only then nitrates are not quite as crucial, so you may be able to get by without, but i would stilllhave one
IMO, you don't really need the wet dry anyhow, i would put the money into a good skimmer and a dsb(if you don't already have one) instead, but that is jsut my opinion
oh, and your sand bed and lr would make a much efficient bio filter than a wet dry(no outside filter needed)

anthem, just how would i hook up a skimmer? does it need an overflow box as well? also what kind do you recomend. im really considering buying berlin turbo becouse i plan to house a banded bomboo shark. so i think the more filtration the better. the bigger wet dry cost like 100 more!and its only rated for a 100 gallon and i think an extra 200 on a nice skimmer would really benafit my water quality. any info on skimmer set up would be helpful.

Is this shark going in the 75? If so you are already running into problems unless you have MAJOR plans in the near near future.
