For a 20g you might want to consider making a refugium out of a HOB AquaClear 500. Use the surface skimmer to reduce the overall gph of the pump. I've seen several of these modified to be hob refugiums with remarkable success (not only that but they only cost ~$45). Then you can add a clip on light for the refugium. Just an alternative, HTH

Email me and I'll show you a link w/ good directions. imageckolicklick@aol.com I can't post it here. Make sure you put something about SWF.com in the subject so I'll know not to delete it with the 10 bajillion spam emails I get. Worst come to wosre I'll just paste what I can on here if you don't want to email me.
