anyone know a good protien skimmer for a 20 gal nano reef?

Really depends on how much room you have, and what type of tank you have: could need a HOB or internal model.

as for as a 20gal long goes, it has pleanty of room. note the sustrate is about 1' - 1' 1/2".

itll house acropora, montipora, and zoanthids. mabes some hammers or torch with a plate or chalace. and 1 young yellow tang 3-4 other small fish, few crabs, a orange lukini, and derotive macros. all small. it has plenty of rock from a well established, long lived display tank refuge. so just missing a good size, quite skimmer.

Gotcha, I ran a Reef Octopus Class 100 HOB on my 46G bowfront for about a year and loved it. BRS rates it for up to 50 gallons, quiet, inexpensive (for a skimmer), never had any issues with it. There are probably many other options though.
