I would go with aragonite over pool sand. Your tank is so small, the cost should not be inhibitive. If it is, this is not the hobby for you.

If you are using CF lighitng, keeping softies (mushrooms, leathers, colts, xenia, etc) are good starters. If you are really successfull you could try some LPS like fogspawn, candy canes, torch, but those really should have more light.

Easy fish for a small tank are gobies, and clowns. In a 10g don't go with more than a couple. Maybe a pair of clown, and a small clown goby to start.

You have to let your tank cycle, then you can add corals at whatever rate you want. Fish you should add more slowly, one a week maybe.

Dont bother with the JL cleaner crew pack, IMO. You would do better selecting your own. And I would stay away from hermits if I were you, they end up taking down snails, IME. Very fun to watch hermits though, and in a 10g maybe not such a big deal, go with a couple scarlet hermits, they have been the least aggresive for me.

Stay on top of water changes if you arent using a skimmer.
