Does all biofiltration have to be wet/dry as in the bio-wheel?

such as danios, gouramis, and platies.  I had a pack that came with my tank
and thought why not.  I still feed them topical flakes and frozen
bloodworms, but I though it wouold be silly to have the goldfish ...

I recently acquired my girlfriend's 20 gallon high tank and have thus
far stocked it with 5 leopard danios and 1 blue paradise fish.  The tank
has an Aqua-Tech 10-20 filter on it retro fitted with a Bio-Wheel along
with a Bio-Wheel mini filter on it.  I have various plants in ...

Anyone have any experience with the ViaAqua Multi-Skimmer?
Also, what exactly does a UV sterilizer do?  I heard they work great for
killing bacteria, but they also destroy certain additives like calcium and
