Hello everyone, I have 10 gallons tank With medium bioload. I been wanting to get a protein skimmer. Is this kind of skimmer will be over power and take all the nutrients out the water? I try to figure it out what is the best that I can get for my tank. Thank you

IMHO on a tank that size I would rather rely on 1-2 gallon weekly water changes for waste removal than a protein skimmer. The skimmer you have chosen will work fine as long as you suppress the skimmate production, and use if for primarily oxygen exchange. Good luck!
