Bare with me if I have, sorry. But I am thinking of 20-30lbs of live rock in a 20 gallon with 2 clowns, a star fish, and 10 crabs. Do I NEED any other form of filtration such as chemical or mechanical seeing that I have the bio covered??
tbo - please don't take this a a slam, just a disagreement.
It has been posted many many times that those powersweeps normally break down very rapidly. It's a great thought but we need a better vendor.
I also believe that even a tiny Tang will not do very well in a 20 gallon tank.
Two Percs in a 20 is pretty much maxed in my opinion.

I can vouch for that fact as well. We tried one of those sweeping powerheads and the sweeping motion broke down within a couple months. It still works fine as a single direction powerhead, but I won't ever buy another. Just my experience...

I agree.
Going with Bang on this one as well, power sweeps fail to maintain over long periods of time and there is no way a tang would live very long in a 20 gallon. Again just a disagreement in opinion.
Another thumbs down on the powersweeps. They reqiure weekly maintenance to function properly and are too big and bulky for the amount of water flow they provide. I have two sitting in a box in the shed - minus a few parts. If you are getting clowns stick with the smaller ones (Maroons are too big) false percs or percs. Tang would be out of the question.
