rio nano
In a 10g the best thing to do is the weekly water changes. Taking out 2 gallons a week is nothing. takes me 5 mins to make the water 2 nights before, and 5 mins to change it. Havent had a single thing die in my tank yet. the one time i had problems with my frogspawn, it was because I skipped a water change. For what its worth, it would probably take you just a long to clean out the skimmer every week.

I will be away for a month and since I won't be able to do the water change, and asking my room mate to change water along with top-off and feeding would be too much to ask for. Hence got the protein skimmer
 It's been over a month and my basic parameters (amo, nitri, nitra) are all at 0. Since I knew that adding a better protein skimmer wouldn't help, so just bought the rio HOB and its working just fine

Will be hard to get a quality skimmer for that size that wont over-skim. All those ultra mini skimmers are just not worth it IMO.
Why not just add a small reactor and throw some carbon in it? Ray
