Forget the filter, do this:

Get an overflow on the tank. Plumb it to a drain or large trash can. Get a big plastic container and fill it with new water. Have that new water gravity feed into the 10gallon all day, And overflow into the drain/waste container. Have it do 2-5 gallons a day. This will habdle all problems chemically related and wont require test kits or fancy exspensive equipment.

What youve got is new saltwater all day long :) and very few problems

Has anyone seen the Seachem tidals? They look really great. They have a built in surface skimmer

I just came through your comment and I think this idea will fit for my 10g nano. I am planning to keep inverts, only (no fish) and building a 10g sump. Hope it will work.
