no skimmer necessary if you keep up on water changes.. if it's a quarantine tank you plan on using regularly, 1g water changes weekly should do it. I'd stay away from the live rock, just in case you have to medicate w/ anything. Your best bet is to use PVC fittings as places for fish to hide while in there. The hang on filter will be fine, you want to seed it with bacteria from your main tank though by hanging the filter on there and let it run for a week, or take the wheels off and put them in your sump for a week to colonize.
