I am in teh process of setting up a 20g system, i have a Ac 300 on it and regular floursent lighting. I want to stock it with some firefish, a maroon clouwn, a fire angel, and some larger seahorses. What would be a good skimmer along with 15lbs LR to help this tank along.

Seahorses should be housed in their own tank really, they don't tend to fare well in community tanks. Also the tank is a little smallish for the angel as well.

You could use a CBR bak pak skimmer in the 20 gal.....

a good skimmer for the price is a prizm skimmer. the basic model is okay i think for a tank your size.

that tank wont like all that stocking. a 20 isnt really a great"lets stock till something dies" tank. stuff dies fast in smaller tanks, watch your levels, a litttle tank isnt stable as say a 55

yeah thats way over stocked. maybe one of the 3 fish, but no seahorses. i think those tend to do better in a tank dedicated to them.
