if you have no other nutrient removal filtration (eg. refugium or algae turf scrubber), yes you need a skimmer.

WC frequency - depends. monitor your nutrients (nitrate). for fish only i think 30-50ppm is ok, though ideally below 20ppm. generally for fish only think wc once every 2 weeks is ok. but amount of water change also matters. generally 10-20% per time.
