This post is going on forever and changed big time. The sponges kind of seem a little difficult too keep, I am thinking of getting the anenome clownfish tank. Does anyone know if you can get a metal halide or pc for a little 20 gal tank.

Sure you can, depending on how much light and what type you are looking for, power compacts are available in a variety of lengths, they and halides are easily had, depending on the dimensions of the tank even T5s can be done. There are a lot of options available.
Every electronic device is manufactured with smoke stored deep inside... only a true genius can find a way to set it free.

AT - I have done this with the fuge. I have a 20g next to my display. I've tapped off the return to the display and routed it to the fuge. The fuge drains into the sump. Works great. No chance of flooding, just be sure that your sump can handle the extra water that will drain from the fuge.
This is the only pic I have.
Got reef?
yea dude just get an over flow box and a u tube and run it but it would be better if you could the 20 gal behind your display that would be better, but my top suggestion is to keep that tank as a quarantine and go buy an accrylic refuge and u tube it behind the display thats what i did but i put a wet/dry and a skimmer in mine so its totally pimped out and what a difference it made, that extra skimmer and live plants eliminated all of my algae problems even though i still have a little bit of hair algae here and there but you cant get it all. But seriously just get one of those hang on the backs that are like 4 inches deep and like 20 inches wide and like 18 inches long
