Are you going to keep any fish in it? I would do a softy tank with it. It is easier to screw up the water quality with overfeeding etc because of less volume. Just keep an eye on water parameters, maybe go digital, like with the probes and digital display for temp, ph, calcium, whatever. I think it would be hard to keep even one fish without getting some nitrate, even when skimmimg 24/7. Sounds fun though. I have a 75 gallon reef, downgraded from a 200 gallon.

I used to have an interest in salt water tanks when I was younger but too much maintnence. I think a 20 gallon is too small - Too hard to keep levels right

You cam PM me with questions you have if you want. A friend of mine has I think 5 salt water tanks and a huge fresh water one. I'd be happy to ask him what you want to know.

Keep a couple inches of calcerous sand to manage nitrates.
