I just put this on my tank and its running so much smoother but my question is do I run this all the time? My tank is a 10 gallon nano saltwater.

I'd run it 24/7 unless you have a reason not to. It says it's rated up to 60 gallons, but based on design and size, I think that's optimistic at best. Besides pulling out dissolved organics from the water column, the skimmer helps with oxygenation and pH.
