Hey WELCOME TO CANREEF.

First what are you looking to do with the tank?
REEF or Fish only ya IM NOT GOING REEF YA OH ROLMAO WAIT FOR IT sorry man heard that before...
IMO I think a tank that small can get away from a Skimmer. Reason you ask very good I will try to explain.
A skimmer is a piece of equipment that helps in the aid of slowing down water changes, it takes out the extra nutrients before it can start to cause the nasty breakdowwn of the start of pollutants.
if people take the time to set it up the right right a tank under 50 gals can and doesn't need a skimmer. GOOD OLD FASHION WATER Changes can do that alot to the tank. that is my 2 cents.
