Agreed. The pro- anti- skimmer debate is just another example of an argument that is more emotional than factual. It is hard to fault the hobbyists though because there is not all that much factual...

- A 20000K bulb will be very blue and consequently have relatively low PAR output. It will be roughly equivalent to a 150W 10000K but with the heat output of a 250W. Depends on your current lighting...

I agree. If the water has some sort of contamination a small water change is unlikely to lower the concentrations enough to fix the problem. Of course you dont want big temperature or salinity swings...

You don't want to know what those parameters should be but what they actuallyare. Ammonia and nitrite (NO2) need to be zero or near zero - 'normal' won't cut it. If clowns (assuming they were healthy...

Even if the hermits do go to work on the algae, they probably won't be a long term solution. They usually kill each other off till there are an ineffectual few left. Then the algae just comes back.

I don't think there is a maximum size for a 'skimmerless' system. IMO it is more dependent on bio-load; keep it low for low maintenance.
For a simple 2' cube softie tank I would do: 1 x 150W MH...
