HOB protein skimmer?

[haiyzues]

Can anyone recommend one?

For a 10g nano

For a 10 gallon i would not use one. Water changes will be just as effective IMO.

From what I've been told by others under 20g you won't need a protein skimmer as long as your consistent with water changes. I have an 8g and it's doing well, just make sure you're using rodi.

What do you keep your parameters at and how often do you do water changes if you don't mind me asking?

I rarely test if I do I have someone check my phosphates. Water change every 7-8 days. The only time I had a mini cycle is when I first started and overstocked (I also didnt use LR but I can attribute the mini cyce to overstocking and excessive feeding).
I'm sure others here can make recommendations on test kits.
