Protein Skimmer

Hi, I was just wondering if I really need a protein skimmer. I don't know what it is exactly and I would like to know more. It sounds pretty important but I don't know if I need it or not for my 28g nano cube.

Any advice?
-THX

 

yes it is very important
as some may not use one i would never go with out one

 

Also do you know if I should get a sumP?
