    I have a 10 gallon mixed reef tank with a clownfish and starry blenny. I didnt have a skimmer at first because my parameters were perfect. I noticed that my nitrates spiked to 5 ppm. So now i need a small skimmer. A hang on skimmer would be nice

    A lot of the height is above the aquarium. It you have the back edge of the tank on the edge of a stand then you should have no worries.
