wet/dry filter plus protein skimmer?

[rjohnson]

I was told that if you have a wet/dry filter you don't need a protein skimmer. I have live rock, live sand so far, am waiting for tank to cycle. Do I need both items?

I'd say wait till the tank cycles also. With live rock it wont take long. But eventually you will need one. Or change 50% water every 2or3 weeks STEVE
