I saw some post about Seachem filter lately and read good reviews too.
Hydor is good.
Maybe look into Jebao pp-4.

yea i was looking into the seachem tidal but i saw a couple bad reviews about it and idk just yet. its just a new product. the aqua clears just have a good rep for a hob filter. the jebao are deff. a good option too.

Yay! I'm so excited! I have a 20L as well and run a hob filter. For power heads I use a sicce and a hydor koralia for the other side. I have them on the far ends pointed towards each other. The sicce is much more powerful and moves the water 3/4th the length of the tank and the hydor moves it 1/4 to maybe 1/2 the length. The two combined create a nice flow. For a skimmer I have a hob eshopps. It's has a very I was an ads and distant cause your energy had me fiending footprint, is quiet, and no micro/macro bubbles floating around.

So sorry about that! Ok, let's try again. The eshopps has a very small footprint and is quiet. It doesn't give off any macro/micro bubbles either.

Now I have to go have a talk with my kid...
