Don't encourage him, PacMan. Nano-reefs are just about the stupidest things ever invented, and not at all for anyone without masochistic tendencies. If it can only be done under extreme difficulty, then what's the point in doing it? Nanoreefers are the same kind of people who like to stuff 6 comet goldfish into a one-gallon fishbowl, and usually for the same reason; they're too cheap to do the job right. They don't care about the well-being of their pets, so long as they look nice and don't cost too much.
Is that fair to the fish?
10 gallons is too small.
"Practical" and "barely possible" are two very different things.
Trying a nanoreef in a ridiculous attempt to save money nearly always results in wasted money, so just do it right in the first place. Nanos are for skilled keepers only who have time to spend on them.
