I run chemipure elite, purigen, live rock under the rack and the stock biocube filter pad. Only live stock are my two original oscellaris clowns and my CUC. Now for the pics.

Anyone have any suggestions for a good skimmer for this tank? Also I'm looking to build a 20L sump to replace my 10 gallon. Anyone know of any links to where to place the baffles? I plan on a fuge

You may try the Reef Octopus NWB-110. The foot print is a bit large, but it should fit well in a 20L. It also has a gate valve which makes fine tuning pretty easy.

As far as where to place baffles, I would figure out how much space you will need for your skimmer, then your return pump on the opposite side and go from there. I assume you are planning a fuge, so you could google some popular sump refugiums to give you a visual of what you want to accomplish.
