Default 10 gallon reef build
I am starting a 10 gallon reef tank. I have about 5 pounds of live rock, and about 12 pounds of live sand. I'm running A aquaclear 20, and single bright Marineland LEDs. I have plans for making a sump/refugium.


I really want to be able to have almost all 10 gallon appropriate corals in my tank. What lighting do I need? Protein skimmer? power head? What type of macro algae should i use?

No you don't need anything but live rock, sand, power head(s) and HOB.
protien skimmer, sump not needed.
Here is a fantastic link....

I'm not sure if one is enough for your 10gl.
You should be shootin for 2 1/2 watts per gl. and it should be evenly distributed.
The single par may be to focal....
