I just set up my 20L

-15lbs pink fiji sand
-20 lbs of fiji n tonga LR
-aquaclear 200(customed)
-65w Current PC fixture

Everything looks great, will post pics soon. ? is im planning to make it a clown n anemone host tank. what would be the best skimmer for this tank? I currently have Prizm skimmer on my 46g do you think a Prizm would strip many of the nutrients and organics in a 20L?

Buget? Do you have a sump? I would say go for the new ASM mini. Only 100 bucks!

If you need hang on...Rave reviews going on for coralife super skimmer...you cold stick a 65 on there and be set. (also around $90).

And no, prism will definately not "strip the nutrients." I don't think skimmers really strip nutrients anyways, as long as you're doing water changed I wouldn't worry. I run an old Euroreef rated for something like 300g on an 80g and its doing fine. By the way, the prism isn't the best bang for the buck in that price range, I would definately look at something else if I were to purchase a new skimmer. If you already have it, that's another story.
