Live Rock+DSB+Protein Skimmer is really all the filtration you need, with powerheads for water movement.
I am currently setting up a fish only set up and I have -
2 power heads for water movement, you need to turn the water over atleast 10 times in 1 hour.
1 glass heater
3 lengths of the tank of flourecent lights
No protein skimmer, but it is advisable that you do, but i am saving up for one.

Yes its possible to go without a skimmer, for example i dont use a skimmer in my aquarium, but i know how to manage water chemistry and balance bioload, which would be hard for someone just starting out.
A lot of people are going skimmerless these days but for a fish only aquarium with live rock, I would add one. What type of fish are you thinking about? This will also determin what kind of filtration you will need. Also concider good lighting. YOu dont have to go extreme but you should have enough lighting to sustain your rock.
