Frag tank setup question

[rgunn1]

Hey all,
I am in the planning stages of setting up a small 20 gallon long frag tank. My display tank is becoming too cluttered with frag racks and plugs everywhere. I have a Remora C hang on skimmer that I have used in the past and planned on using that. If I do weekly water changes, do I need any other filtration? I have a Penguin 300 HOB filter I can use, but it is rather large and takes up a lot of room. This will be a small setup, so I have no plans of using a sump or drilling it.

Any thoughts/suggestions are welcome!

any fish going in? I would assume routined water changes would be fine without a skimmer.

Maybe some Matrix in the HOB, or perhaps some de*nitrate.

oh an ATO would be nice.

I have a 40b frag tank I run a remora c and a hob filter no issues or problems. had it just like this for a long time. sps lps etc... its very important to do weekly water changes to keep the prams consistent with this type of setup. imo

Did not plan for any fish in this tank. We met last week btw at Philip and Katie's wedding.
