An HOB skimmer is a hang on back skimmer. It hangs on the back of the aquarium, mixing salt water with air to create foam which attracts various types of solid waste, before they break down biologically in the aquarium. For most reef aquariums, they are a necessity.
 
I have a reef octopus nw 110 protein skimmer in sump. You should also look at sumps to add to your system it will help a lot just some more info.
