as for chem-pure it is not cheep actually I was very shocked by its price and you can build a ghetto skimmer for less than a jar of that. so I am not even going to comment on the saving money using chem-pure as I think it is bunk.
Skimmer are equipment, do you need one on a tiny tank... no. do you need one on any tank,... no. but you will be doing very large very frequent water changes. so what does a skimmer do? it allows you to save money by having another method of water cleaning besides pure water changes. does this mean you don't need to do water changes? ... no but it means instead of doing 80% every week on your 10 gal you might do 20% ever second week.

As I have always said every opinion is valid. IMO, and IME, any skimmer on any tank is a gadget that is not needed. You may argue with that, but it will not change my mind. In my system, I do not use a skimmer, nor do I change water on a regular basis. I do use Chemipure that I bought by the case for less than $5.00 per unit.
You may disagree all you want. but accord me the respect that everyone is entitled to.
