			 I am running a 2x65w PC's (aqualight) I wouldn't mind doing a lighting upgrade once these kick the bucket... something with more "shimmer" ?

			 a 150w HQI metal halide would be nice and slick on a 20g and will give you a nice "shimmer"

			 hmm, I am a complete dummy when it comes to the lighting aspects of this hobby. But that only seems like a few more watts than I already have, and I would be able to get that MH shimmer appearance to my reef... hmmm.....

			 Mh give more punch when it comes to brightness.You'll get nice shimmer with surface aggetation with mh.I run a 250 watt 10000 k with actinic and get real nice shimmer.

			 Scott the tank looks great  
		
	
		
		
		
		
			Three BTA's is a lot, are you running a protein skimmer, if not I would bump up your water changes by a few gallons. If you are protein skimming, then I would say yes, your next step is an RO/DI- there worth every penny in this hobby
