many people use the natural filtration of the live rock for a nano tank. but i dont think it would hurt to add a small filter.
temp of 76-82 is optimal...

I used an Aqua Clear Mini Filter with a powerhead for movement when I had my 10 gal. Many will use a larger filter which is okay too but make sure you have enough water movement all around, this I found to be the most important.

i personally have a large filter and no power heads

An aqua clear 70 or 110 would be a most suitable filter for that size tank. It should present sufficient flow as well without any additional powerheads, and the filter chamber can also be used as a fuge, as well as add a substantial amount of water to the 10 gal so you have more water capacity overall. They lend themselves to modifying very well, even have sufficient room for a heater to be installed in the filter hcamber, and for fitleration go mainly with iverock and just use a simple bat or spoonge for basic mechanical filtering of larger solids etc....Aqua Clear works super and the large AC110 can be had online for under $35.00

ive seen people use a aqua clear 300 for a fuge and i would add a power head to that, and you should be good, just make sure you have a enough live rock and clean up crew, mainly snails

i just have LR and some macro algae in my 10 gallon as my filtration and i have a lot of different fish and inverts in my tank and i dont have any problems

Current, just came ut with a nice small NANO sized skimmer called the Fusion or Fission or something like that. From chatting with some that have beenin on the pilot test program they have nothing but good to say for it......Supposed to be released somewhere the middle or end of November..
