Yes. Not sure why you would need one. Not putting much in the way of bioload in a 10 gallon sw tank. LR should handle it with sand.

Actually there are really no good nano protein skimmers out yet, but like what damon said, it really isn't need for a 10 gallon for your weekly water chages will take care of it.

Only nano-skimmer i've seen tested and proven " of good use".

While no nano skimmer is going to be one of the greatest out there until technology changes, maybe, it's still good enough for what you need. Any skimmer with like a 2 inch tube won't provide huge protein, etc. removal, but I don't see why you'd need such higher quality one for a ten gallon anyways.
