i think everyone is right thaat you dont need one on a 10 gal nano because if you want it to work you will be doing weekly water changes of 2 or 3 gallons BUT if you really want one ill tell you how to make one that will cost you next to nothing .
take a piece of clear plastic tubing like the ones used on undergravel filters and cut the top of a soda bottle place the end you drink out of into the top of the tube then mount it on the side of the aquarium inside you can mount it with suction cups like the ones used for heaters next get a air pump and a WOODEN airstone place the airline with the airstone down the tube till its about an inch from the bottom and turn it on


and there you go instant cheapy protein skimmer
i know it sounds like junk but i have done this myself and for friends and you will be suprised by all the green junk it will pull out if you want anymore help with this idea pm me and i will help you out good luck let us know how it works out
