| Re: newbie starting a 20 g FOWLR well the rule for thumb is 5 watts per gallon but it rellay depends on depth. also just go for 2 nano fission protien skimmers at saltwaterfish.com. |

| Re: newbie starting a 20 g FOWLR You don't need a skimmer for a 20 Gal. tank unless you plan to overfeed or grow SPS. Honestly, I see them as more of a hassle than what they are worth for such a small tank. Regular water changes of 10 - 15% will be more than ample.

| Re: newbie starting a 20 g FOWLR /agreed small tanks = less equipment 90% of the time. Don't over complicate things. on a side note omg someone agreed with me /dies
