Na, and I hope you didn't take offense by my speaking my mind either.
I don't know about the 6 month thing though, because most new tanks are loaded with nutrients and somewhat unstable in the beginning. If i was starting a tank and i could afford it, I would want a skimmer pronto. Just my opinion.
Ultimately, a skimmer is just another component that cleans the water. If you keep your water clean with other methods, you don't need it.
