I don't use the light that came with it.. it kinda sucked and wasn't great for plants. I have zoomed ultrasun compact bulbs. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003QZF7JA

If your light fixture supports two bulbs, I would go with a pair of these to keep things under a budget
If it only supports one bulb and you are wanting to do a planted tank, I would look at another lighting option, probably an LED fixture like this. I use one of these for my 20 long and have great growth with zero algae.
Additionally, and you might already have everything, I would invest in a filter and a heater as well. Also drain the water and put the tank on a sturdy shelf for optimal viewing (and so you don't accidentally kick it... yes I've made that mistake before with a temporary tank). A filled 10 gallon tank can easily tip the scales over 120 pounds.
Edit: Welcome to the hobby! May it slowly take over your room, house, and life if all goes well.
