A 10 gallon will be a tight fit depending on the skimmer you have, but can definitely work. You will want to have a glass company cut panes of glass to fit the width of the 10 gallon tank. You will want the first one to be as tall as your skimmers optimal water depth, usually somewhere between 8-10 inches. You will wnat to use silicone to glue the baffles into place. You should have the rest lower than the first one and set them up as follows. About an inch or so from the first one add another that will stand about 1 or 2 inches off the bottom of the tank, this forces the water to go under it which helps break up small air bubbles. Then an inch away place another one flush with the bottom of the tank to force the water to go over it. That will be where the water flows into your return pump area.
