I kind of have to agree with leveldrummer on that one, though I'll throw some things out there. Filtration is quite simple for that size of a FW tank. You could get an internal power filter or a Hang-On-Back power filter. That would be your best option there. Your going to need a 50 watt heater for 10g. You could get a submersible or hang-on one, it's your personal opinion. Substrate, is also your opinion, though if you want plants a planted substrate wouldn't be bad, but not nessecary. Like Flourite or something. Or if you were to go with African cichlids(which would have to be dwarf like shell-dwellers since it's a 10g), they've got substrates for that. Other than that you could do normal cheap gravel or sand. As far as hood goes I take it you mean light? Again if you want live plants than it could vary. Indacascent is your WORST option either way. What kind of live plants are you wanting to keep? If low-light plants you could do just a standard single flourescent strip light. Then if wanting medium to high light plants a dual tube flourescent or power compact would be a better option.
