Good choice on the light.

Plants generally don't like sand but if its less than 2 inches deep you might be ok. Get easy plants like Hornwart, Anacharis, Cabomba and Dwarf Sagittaria but I'm sure others on this site will have more suggestions. So try a few species and see how they do. Obviously you'll wanna keep the ones that live and stop buying the ones that die. Add some driftwood and you'll have a good looking tank.

All plants can be cut back.

For a ten gallon tank you'll want small fish. There are lots of Dwarf varieties out there and Cardinal/Neon Tetras are perennial favorites.
