Since it is only a 10 gallon tank weekly water changes will be a breeze and if I can figure a DIY skimmer in the mix within it via air stone or something bonus if not its all good

I think the Eclipse hoods are similar to what you are talking about doing. There is also the $3o Rio nano skimmer that actually can do a descent job with a bit of tuning. My tank is a 10g as well and if you you use small components there is lots of space and as you said water changes are easy on a nano! I have a 2 1/2g rubbermaid bucket for water changes, a weekly 25% water change that takes all of 5 minutes, gotta love that.
