They don't really make good light fixtures for 10g, but if you upgraded to a 15g.....(hint hint, you would appreciate the little extra room in a 15 compared to a 10g its a little deeper and longer and higher)...it would be the 24in fixture, the first one in the price list. That would be good for softies and LPS, but not so sure on sps and clams.

Compact Flo. are not the most powerful lights but it gives you the 2 extras you like, and in such a small tank the 130w it puts out would be pretty powerful in a 15g, its like 8w/g

good luck

Before I upgraded to my 46, I had a small 10G reef. If it helps any, I used a Current PC Sunpaq (forget the model) with moon lights and it worked fine. I even kept a BTA with it.
