I think it shouldn't be any problem on a 96W PC light since it's a small tank not that very deep. There is many successfull story of keeping SPS under PC light as long as the it's not a huge and deep tank which the light having problem penetrate the water

Technically yes you could keep acros alive under PC.
Problem is though they would lose there color and you'd have brown sticks.
Plus you'd have to feed heavy to supplement the lack of light.
Which of course would total throw off your parameters in a 10Gal.
More then likely killing them off anyway.

Default PC lighting

I am keeping monti and acro under 105 watts of PC and NO lighting they are colored and growing nicely this is in a 29 gallon. So with what you have for lighting I do not see what the problem is. Just choose carefully.
