No, it's probably not alright for this angel to be in the 20g permanently. This was a complete setup I purchased so the angel came with the package. Once he outgrows the tank, it will be time to go. As for now, he is still small and looks very content in the tank.

Thanks for letting me know. Now I will not rush out and buy a dwarf angel on the way home tonight!

On the Coralife Skimmer I agree with what Tony said. They are really touchy. They can overflow any time there is a water fluctuation. I myself have had three small floods from them. Luckily I was home when it started. If you do use it as a hang on it is best used on the sump with a auto or some kind of top off system to kepp he water fluctuatoins at a minimal. Also after every water change you should readjust it and check them frequently. They are best used as a in sump skimmer.

Thanks for your input guys. I don't think this is the right skimmer for me. I will be worrying far too much about it. It is extremely touchy, and not very user friendly. I really liked using the Remora.

I am going to post it up for sale/trade here I think. Too much to risk when it's being used as HOB it sounds like.
