Hob Skimmers

are there any good ones small enough for a 10 gal nano that dont take up too much room in the tank nor interfer with the hood. im in the US btw.

Doubtful... The tube is going to have to be of certain dimensions in order to allow enough room for the skimming action. I have a miniflotor and it's not too big, but does get in the way of the hood. I had to take of that front flap that you can lift to feed the fish and even still I have to angle the hood on the tank. It's really not that noticeable though.
