I don't recommend par38's for a 20. They are more for 10g. Just buy a Tao panel, cheaper and better.

Two par38s:
RapidLED- http://tinyurl.com/rapidled
Reefkoi - http://tinyurl.com/reefkoi
Both of these have good reviews, but I personally would choose the Reefkoi as it is the hgiher power bulb, plus the color temp is 20,000k vs 17,000 k on the rapidled.
Although these both screw into standard light sockets, you will also probably want to get a strong, adjustable fixture that can clamp on to the aquarium (these bulbs are pretty heavy.) Many people use a gooseneck fixture from coralcompulsion.com, but you can also use a clip on lamp (some users on AA go that route, like 10g_nano.)

Yep - just to confirm I didn't mess up the details, this a standard 10 right?
One should be fine, just make sure you have a good fixture.

You definitely don't need to add pellets, since you already have enough ammo to cycle the tank. I doubt it could be hurting anything, but I wouldn't add them since you know you already have a good cycle going.

That's a lot of ammo, if you haven't already I would def take out the source. Looking good, trites are already spiking.
I would check ph, but not the most important thing right now (it's good to be aware of what the params are at in general.)
