how come u posted 2. you could of just continued on here no biggie. but yea for your size tank im gonna second jacksons post. also especially for a 20 gallon you could get away with a aqua c remora or something like that, that would work great on the tank.... i just dont no if your tank would be long enough. if you using a stand then yea no problem.

Are you looking for an HOB skimmer?

If you are, the CSS or the Remora are probebly the best but IMO both are not all to consistent.

If you have a sump, asm just came out with the mini which seems like it should skim the best if its anything like the other asm skimmers.

How does that PM hang on work? How does the air mix in?

It's a venturi skimmer. I was curious one day and I added an air stone...... now it's supercharged :approve:
