Welcome to NR and the undersea world of reef aquariums.

 

No, you do not need a protein skimmer.  I have been skimmerless for 35 years.  Many nano tanks have been set up for > 10 yrs without protein skimmer.  Routine sandbed gravel vacume with water changes are standard protocoal.

 

Enjoy the hobby.
