10G too small for frag tank?

I have a 10g nano right now, that i will be transferring all inhabitants to a 29g in a few weeks. I have everything to make the 10g a small prop tank, but do you think it will be too small? The lighthing i have on it right now is 2X40w 50/50 bulbs. I will mainly keep zoa's and other softies. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

If you can keep it from crashing or having any problems....

Stability is the main issue. If you can add some type of sump to increase water volume/stability it would be your best bet.

I use a 2.5 gallon for mine. So yeah, it is possible just keep it topped off.

Dalbrecht, what kind of lighting do you have on that 2.5?

Maybe you could hook it inline with your new tank? That would provide a bit more stability.
