Wet/Dry

I recently (about a month ago) switch over to a wet/dry. I now have this big black box in the tank. Is this called a skimmer box? Do I really need this? Its only a 40G tank and it takes up alot of room. Can I just have the tube going from the tank to the pre-filter?

The skimmer box is prob. to large you can get a smaller one. The skimmer box prevents the continuous siphoning if you loose power. Once the level drops below the straining teeth the siphone stops and does not flood the wet/dry..
