Protein skimmer/ powerhead help?

[bubby317]

Im setting up a 20g l tank and I'm just concerned about circulation and how it'll filter itself. I'm going to put around 20 pounds of LR in there, what kind of power head would you guys recommend? And is a skimmer a little much for a 20g fowlr? Im only going to put 2 clowns in, but when I get the money I may put some corals in, which I will get the skimmer then. As for right now, should I wait or get it now?

If its just 2 clowns and no corals, You'll be fine without a skimmer. Just make sure you keep up on the water changes and you should be ok...
As for power heads id like into something like this

Once your ready for a skimmer look into the AquaC Remora or a Bak Pak

Oh yea, and dont be affraid to buy used on Ebay or craigslist!

Is the evolution model any better for 2 more bucks?


Amazon.com: Hydor Koralia Evolution 750 Aquarium Circulation Pump, 750 gph: Kitchen & Dining

Ive never used the newer ones. Its 150gph more and draws 1/2 the electricity, Id say thats worth 2 bucks!
