Will a Aqua-Tech Power Filter work?
I am buying a 10gallon tank... and I was wondering if a Aqua-Tech Power Filter could be used on the salt water? Or retro fitted to work...

I have a Aqua-Tec canister and it works just fine for providing circulation to a small tank, running carbon, polishing water, etc.

Yes, the aqua tech will work fine on that size thank. For the most part, Live rock and Live sand will do all the bio filtering on a saltwater/reef tank. But no reason you cannot use a power filter. Just be sure to keep an eye on water quality, nitrates specifically. Keep the "filter media" clean and personally, if you are going to have at least 20lbs of LR and some LS in there, then I'd remove the "bio pad" from the filter and use it strictly as a means of mechanical filtering.
