For a 20g, I would look at the Deltec MCE300 if its in your price range.

Aqua C remora w/ the maxijet 1200 worked great for me when I had my 20 and then 65 (although the 65 might have been a little too big for it)

Also, the CPR backpack is popular.

From my readings on this forum, I think the typhoon is the best bang for your buck.

Second the AquaC Remora or the CPR Bak Pak. I've been using a Remora on my 30 cube for over 3 years now. WOrks like a champ with regular cleaning and the customer service at Aqua C is top notch.

Deltec you wont be sorry I went with the mce600 so I can still use it when I upgrade. Best money I spent

My vote is for the Deltec, I have the MCE 600, it's amazing what it pulls out. Little pricey but well worth the money and it will allow you to go bigger without having to upgrade your skimmer.

I have had great success with the aquamedic turboflotor multi. It is very versatile(in sump,out sump, hob) easy to adjust, and quiet. The only drawback I would say is that it is difficult to clean some of the pre-attached plumbing pieces.

I've been using a Precision Marine HOT 1+ on my 38 and it's done a pretty good job just using a MJ 1200. Can be hard to twist the cup off at times though. It is a good sized skimmer and would probably be great on a 29.
