    what corals are you intending keeping ph088?
    the 425 may be a bit much flow in the same direction in a 10 gallon
    so I would probably go with the 240 or maybe 2 x 240s as that way you can spread the flow about a bit better

    syphoning is a good idea on bare bottom, and you can do this as often as you like even when not changing water
    just syphon out through a filter sock or a fish net with filter wool lining it, which will capture the rubbish and then you can pour the water back in
