You dont need a sump but they can be handy.  
you dont need a skimmer but they can be helpful. 
I just set up a 75g cube tank, and I did it for cheap.  
100 bucks for power heads 
90lbs live rock 200 
T5 lights 380 (ok this wasnt to cheap but you need lights for corals. 
  
so $680 for a 75g tank. If you do lots of water changes you dont need a skimmer. But i could still add a skimmer to the tank and the price will still be reasonable.

 That's really reasonable...
 
I think to have a system so reasonably priced, you needed to do a lot of DIY stuff though, correct?
