coralife is pretty quiet too

I don't think either one is quiet. The Aqua C hisses and the coralife slurps

Deltec MCE 300 is new but big enough for a 20 gallon.. The Deltec MCE 600 is good and quite if you really want to spend $500 on a skimmer for a 20 gallon. I like the AquaC's for smaller tanks but make a hissing sound that can be annoying.

Personally, I think that you're better off going skimmerless on a 20 gallon since it's so easy to do high percentage water changes. You can run carbon in a hang on back filter. Replace the carbon weekly and do a 5-10 gallon water change weekly and you're good to go. If you absolutely positively have to have a skimmer then the remora pro is a decent choice for a 20.

My friend has a AquaC remora on a 30gallon and you only hear the hiss if you are up next to the tank but a few feet away and you do not notice it.

My Remora filled a 20x10 room with hissing sound.

I agree w/tomzpc go skimmerless.
If anything for a 20g I would prefer to use a HOB fuge that has a built in over flow.
