Protein skimmer

[ahuaia]

I have a 10 gallon tank with no hidden back and no sump so if I get a protein skimmer it has to be in the tank so I was wondering what is the smallest protein skimmer I could put in my tank? I want something very small that won't be to much of an eye sore if I can't find one I'll just go without one. Any ideas?

No protein skimmer needed in a 10g tank. Weekly or Bi-weekly water changes will suffice.

I know but I was really wanting to up the amount of livestock I could put in and was thinking a protein skimmer would help with that

Stocking choices are already limited for nanos, what were you planning to house?

Not completely sure yet I just wanted to keep my options open I'm more concerned about my coral I'm already maxed on fish

What about a hang off the back skimmer?

That could work as well any suggestions on brands or specific models.

Aquamaxx HOB is usually recommended. The Aquaticlife 115 is cheap and in-tank if you want to go that route.

Reef octopus ns-80 is a good low cost hang on back skimmer.
