I am not sure how you expect us to answer this question. You should measure underneath the stand.
As demodiki it’s best to get your measurements first so you know what can fit. That being said your options are somewhat limited do to the small space and most stands only being 10” wide. But here is a small list of what some people use:
20 gal long tank usually fits depending on the placement of the center bracket.
ProClear Aquatics SlimLine
Marineland Tidepool 1
CPR WET/DRY FILTER

You would have to see if you can angle it under there depending on the style of stand you have.
I guess the other question is what are you trying to accomplish? A 10g only adds about 10% to your volume and does not provide much room for equipment if you are looking to hide it in the sump as many do. For the trouble and cost of materials (overflow and pump) it may not be worth the trouble.
If you are looking to make it more of a fuge then it might be worth the effort.
HTH,

HTH,
I have a 10g under my 65 (the 15T wouldn't fit). It is a fine place for heaters, macro, return pump, etc. "Works" for me. It really depends on what you're looking to get out of it! Otherwise you could have something custom built out of Acrylic. One of the guys in our reef club custom builds sumps and he's got a design for a 2 part sump that gets connected once in the stand.
