I'd change out the HOB filter for a moded aquaclear fuge if ya can. A tank that small with frequent water changes and a good ammount of biological filtration (live rock) should be fine without a filter. Also, I'd agree and say go 10 or 15...15s have the same footprint if I remember correctly, just a bit taller than a 10 gallon

Don't forget a skimmer, one of these should do the trick http://www.jlaquatics.com/product/tz...er+-+9002.html, I saw one on Canreef for sale today in Airdrie for an excellent price.

I've run tanks up to 33 gallons successfully without a skimmer. Key is good surface agitation and frequent water changes.
Is there a reason you're set on PC as opposed to T5s? if you're wanting to only keep softies and LPS etc, you could find a nice 2 bulb or even a 4 bulb for relatively cheap and be able to grow anything (because we all know you eventually will get SPS) And they don't produce as much heat as PC bulbs

You can keep ALOT under PC lighting
to further more UVL released these and I would look into them if your planning on running PC's http://www.nanotuners.com/index.php?...qi0noit5kqpl10 They have only been released recently and I almost bought them before finally deciding on going with a viper MH cause of the price. I have kept acans, hammer, torch, birdsnest sps, mushrooms (floridas, yumas, and other ricordias), zoa's.... basically your harder sps is what you will be limited from, esspecially in a 10gal. Just run a fuge, chemi-pure and keep up with waterchanges and your set. also run a good salt, H2Ocean sells small buckets. I would reccomend this aswell
