i got just about everything i need for my new 55 gallon saltwater, fish only tank. i have the aqua c skimmer and the rena filstar canister and alot of other gadgets. i just read about overflow boxes and i want to know if this is something i should invest in and if so, what size should i consider.

Welcome to Fishlore! Thanks for minding where you put your threads. We mods really appreciate it.
Unfortunately, as I'm not a SW person, I'm not sure about all of the equipment, and don't know where overflow boxes rank on the "Need-Want-Don't Bother" scale.

As you are only doing a fish only tank an overflow box would be on the Don't bother scale of things. As you allready have a filter and a protein skimmer it is overkill and has in my oppinion too many risks for the benifits.
