LS and LR at the same time .. let cycle for 4 weeks
no tang
and if you want an anemone you will need more light

Definetely not enough light for anemone. Get it up to around 40watts of pc lighting and you will have a much better chance. And at that it will need to be close to surface, and an area of good flow.

How 'bout the Ocellaris to start out with, get your water dialed in, see how much time it takes per week to maintain, allow the mini-cycles to pass (i.e. algae blooms), purchased a power compact hood, and then take it from there?
Tang in a 10, no.
Anemone in a 10, not advised.
LFS guy in a 10, feed twice a day.
