2 skimmers are fine but I'd rather just have one. I have been able to fit one off the side of the tank, too. You can wait a little while before you get it, as it will take some time for bioload to build up in there. Don't wait too long though!

So for a 50gallon tank would I need the dual bak pak (

Also,would you recommend 2 of these

The more efficient skimmer is always better. It depends on how you plan to stock the tank. I'd go with the duo.
You need cross-flow, so go with 2 Korilias.
