10 gallons is to small. You'd want at least a 20 gallon high. You could keep dwarfs in a 10 gallon.

Yes, mostly BBS, copepods, and shrimp larvae. If you'd like to stick with kuda or the other larger species a 20H is the least amount of room you'd want, 29g better. On those tanks a true seagrass garden will require a lot of light, upwards of 8-10wpg PC daylight flavor. Just using macroalgae (Caulerpa, Ulva, Halimeda, Gracilaria, Sargassum) you should get by with 3-5wpg of PC's.
Sounds like an interesting tank though, keep us posted. >Sarah
