Best HOB for 20L

[BigMoCotton]

Hello everyone! I'm setting up my second saltwater tank, a 20 long FOWLR. I may consider Coral in the long run. I would like to know your opinions on what the best / most appropriate HOB filter would be. I'm anticipating having to modify an intake to work with the shallow depth, or DIYing a spray bar if needed. Both of which I don't mind doing. There is a King-225 Powerhead in the tank along with 15-20lbs of cured rock. Substrate is a mix of Black Diamond blasting grit and pool filter sand. There are also two large sponge filters in the tank powered by a Tetra Whisper Air 100 (I was using the tank to breed ghost shrimp.) I have not settled on livestock at this time. The placement of the tank is not conducive to a sump or canister filter, nor do I wish to peruse these options. Thank you all for your time and help!

Look into Aquamaxx HOB-1.

That would be a wonderful option if I could afford it. I wasn't aware these existed and will most certainly consider one for my 46 hex if ever possible.

You can't go wrong with those Aquaclear HOB filters.

I thought I read on the subject was HOB skimmer .

MarineLand's new Magniflo 160 gets my vote. 3 stage canister filter, easy maintenance, powerful.
Love MarineLand canister filters.

Still helped out in the long run, I've been plotting a HOB skimmer plan for the larger tank and need recommendations for something better than one of those $70 Coralife models.

Purchased two SunSun 560 Circulation pumps, I've heard their canister filters work above the price - hopefully the same for these. I'll probably use both of them and add the power head to my SW46. Can always add the HOB later if that's not working out.
