I'm thinking of getting the Reef Octopus Classic 110 Space Saver Protein Skimmer. My question is I have a 72 bowfront, only soft corals & about 10 fish, does anyone know if this is going to be big enough for my set up or should I goto the bigger more powerful skimmer? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I would say that you are good. You do not want to skim out all the the nutrients in you system. rlss R6i in my 72 bowfront in works well.

Calculate your water volume. The skimmer you are looking at will work up to 130 gals.
