since a 10 is kind of small for a lot of plants you can try to miniatureize it a little..pigmy chain swords..green wendtii crypts will look like full sized swords..crypt willisi are pretty small..maybe 2 inches or so..dwarf hair grass is cool but a pain to plant.dwarf baby tears are cool too;but i don't know about light needs;but i think that the fixture you have will do fine.
wrap the sides and back with heavy black visqueen (plastic sheeting)i am not a shrimp fan so i can't tell you about them.as for myself....i would put 4 or 5 of the dwarf cories and a dozen cardinals and leave it at that..a small piece of malaysian driftwood;some cool plants and just a couple of kinds of fish make a very cool tank.maybe even a couple of nannostomus beckfordi...
