need skimmer or not

I helped a friend setup a fowlr but anemone's(condy & carpet) have been added.Will it be necessary to run a skimmer?
 
IMO the only way you can do without a skimmer is with a large refugium, DSB, plenty of LR, and a strict regular water change schedule.
 
Yeah, I think skimming always helps especially if you have a lot of fish. I run a skimmer on my FOWLER with no corals or inverts, only eight very messy eaters. My Cup Runuth Over.
 
If you don't skim the water, then water changes are your best choice.
