Default Skimmer Question

I have an ECO Aqualizer which keeps the water crystal clear. Do I need to get a protein skimmer also? I have a 55gal. with 50# fiji live rock, CC substrate, HOB filter, and two powerheads. Thanks, Deb

well, from what I understand the eco is a "well" debated device as to its effectiveness ?? as to a protein skimmer depends on bio load, personal beliefs etc, if you do get one plan for the future and buy better than you need now
