I run my 20H reef on a Biowheel 200(with actual biowheel removed) and Maxijet 900 for flow. No skimmer, no reactor.
65w limits what corals you can keep, mainly low light LPS & definetly NO anemones.
Here's a pic:

No anemones with that lighting. It isn't enough watts to be strong enough & regardless of that most people say anemones need metal halide lighting.
Nice tank lagger.

Not for long you will......unless you really build your rockwork up high and it decides to stay up there. GL on that.

I run 2x65 PC's and clean up crew does the dirty work.

Cool. Post pics, I'd like to see it. ***)
I chose the 200 over the 150 due to extra media storage which I use.
The black thing is a FLO deflector and creates random flow in the tank.

I run a biowheel Mini on my 15L (basically a sawed off 20H) Plus a powerhead and a skimmer. Later once the base rock turned to liverock I removed the wheel to reduce nitrate production. That and the PH and filter have a sponge on the intakes. Which i clean out with straight clorinated tap water when flow is significantly reduced then dunk in freshly declorinated FW.
