Setting up a new 10G, Equipment??


I'm wanting to set up a 10g i got for a reef tank. I don't know much about what is offered (as far as equipment) for the smaller tanks. I currently have a 70g reef, but i want this one for my room. I'm not planning on doing any coral that demands great lighting because i can't afford a halide or anything right now. Can anyone suggest any equipment?
For example...
Filters,lights,pumps,anything at all. I'm lookin for the name of the brand and models...ect... Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

A real simple setup would be a aga 10 gallon glass with support for 2 incadecent outlets.
Buy the coralife 50/50 20 watt bulbs and you can pretty much keep most softies just fine with that lighting. I would buy a ac300 or ac500 if you can. The ac500 would be perfect for flow and you would not need any additional flow with that setup. Plus, you could fit the heater inside add a clip on light and make it a fuge. Done....
This whole setup could cost less that 100 dollars. Look for a 10 gallon used since everyone has one lying around.

Thanks for the feedback. I already got a 10G tank with a hood ( i think it's a regal or something...?) w/ 2 25 watt bulbs. Will those corallife bulbs fit in the hood i got? Also, what's an ac300 or ac500?

The bulbs should fit as long as the screw in socket is in the middle.
The filter I am refering to is the aquaclear 300 or 500 model.
