Thanks! I wanted to make sure it looked good all the way around, and leave plenty of room for coral growth.

I'm going with no. Especially since you said you will be doing 10% weekly water changes.

I would say try it out and if it's getting difficult to maintain everything then purchase one.
I'm sure others will chime on this.
That was my feeling as well. My past experience with reefkeeping is that water changes are a necessary -evil- chore: I tried a 55 with a refugium and a huge deep sand bed, probably over 150 gallons of total capacity. It didn't thrive because I wasn't focused on the water chemistry, and thought that by adding 2 part mix, and pure ro/di water, I had "outgrown" water changes. Translation: lazy youth.
