Don't be surprised to have a fish highly stressed with resulting problems and the toby nipping at the cardinals.

Remove the fish and get a couple of small fish suitable for a 10 gallon.
+1, Even 2 clown fish is pushing it in a 10g.

I'm using a 6inch reef mud/ crushed coral base for my mangrove/ fuge tank and its working amazing at bringing my nitrates down (for my whole 175g system). For a 10g though, I wouldn't worry about it water changes will be a better bet for you.

(And please like naesco said get those fish out of there or atleast increase it to a 30-40g tank)
