im planning to get a 65 watt pc for my 10g and will bta's do ok in them??the tank is only about 10 inches tall, i plan to have pretty high LR about 5-7 inches tall at various spots. and wil i be able to have most coral types??

Let's fast forward to the end result... A BTA will either do OK, or it will not. If it does not then you should not get it. But if it DOES OK, then it can outgrow that small tank, and most corals it touches, it will kill. Here's a pic of my BTA. That tank is 18 inches front to back. You can see how close he is to the front glass... I swear his span is at least 15 inches...

I'd recommend more light than 65 watts for the frogspawn as well.
