There is no set size, the larger the better, Anytime you can increase water volume and stability, its an excellent thing..

a 30 would be better because of water volume, get the larger heater, put it in the sump, then regulate temperarture accordingly.. start out at cooler temps,, then raise accordingly to your desired temp..

I'm not exactly sure what baffles are for but if a 20 works then that answers my question... thanks

The baffles keep bubbles out of your display along with forcing the water to move through the sump as opposed to letting the heavier(colder)water lay on the bottom while the warmer water simply flows over the top. In a tank that size I too would recommend 2 smaller heaters as opposed to one big one.
