a skimmer is one of the best tools of the trade, why pass on it? A fuge definately isn't worthless though, use both. The more filtration the better, however a canister/hob filter can accumilate detritus and it can create a lot of nitrates which isn't a good thing in a reef or fowlr system. However, its pretty handy in a system with only fish.
