"As you suggest a sump for such a small tank I'm throw." What?

A four bulb T5 would work well or I'd go with a 150W MH. Even a single 250W for a shallow nano-tank would be overkill.

Eheim pumps are an excellent small pump.

A two drain overflow is typically called a Herbie Overflow and will fit a 20gal tank much easier than a bean-animal which are pretty elaborate and require three holes.

Sorry that was meaning to be **Protein Skimmer not Sump. That's what I get for not proof reading and the reply coming from the iPhone.

K so i'm not getting confused here

2 Drain overflow - 2 Overflow boxes and 2 Return holes?

or 1 Overflow box 1 Return?

[whatcaneyedo]

Herbie Overflow. Google image search it.

No need to drill for your returns unless you really want to. You can just have them curve over the back of the tank.

Sounds good

Thanks for the information.
