    I would recommend a sump for a 10g tank. I would do a 20g long for your set up. Make it a sump/fuge.

    Looks like a good deal if you are trying to keep it cheap. If you can afford to spend a bit more then I agree with pharmrjohn.

    I have 10G under my 20G DT. I would have gone with a 20 long as well, but it wouldn't fit under the stand. I first converted a 10G, which broke, then I custom made a 10G fuge out of acrylic and has been working great ever since.
