I run an icecap K-1 Nano skimmer and it's been great for me. I also run an Innovative Marine min-max media reactor with Phosguard
This is the stand. I still need to finish the door so it is missing in the picture. I used the standard 2x4 style frame for the structure and skinned it with 1/8 plywood and used trim pieces on the top and bottom. I also used the small 90 degree angle trim pieces vertically to cover where the front face meets the sides.

ok hmm what about a sea hourse ive seen them in 20 gallons
What’s everybody using for a return pump? I found a place advanced acrylics that makes a great ATO reservoirs at pretty reasonable prices. I’ve had my waterbox about a week now and the stock pump is LOUD!

so I just realized that my stand I was considering was too small. I want to just buy a stand and don't have the tools to build my own. could any one give some pics of there stand that they bought. also i heard that the waterbox filter sock gets clogged a lot is this true and is it worth it to buy a Media basket.
Get the basket if you want to run other media. If not, I would just buy a couple extra socks and rotate them out.
I just replace my sock every 3 days or so and give the used one a good rinse and air dry. I can see how it can get clogged quickly but it really depends on your tank.
I would remove the sock and use floss, even if the sock doesn’t get clogged fast, it will still need changing regularly, easier to do that with floss than washing socks.
The sea horse I would not do, they generally go in their own tank and need feeding constantly, not a good idea IMO.

ok and the clown fish would eat that food too so they would be super fat so i don't think ill get sea horses. I was looking at the jbj 20 gal stand but there a littler bit too small so I'm going to ikea or some other store to look for a stand also any one got a stand that they like that they bought.
the stand will arrive on the 27th 3 day's early.

Just be careful with flat pact stands, check the weight they are designed to hold, if it doesn’t say I would probably not go for it.
Take a look at places that sell oak furniture, those types of places, they are prebuilt and normally quite strong, I think you will be very limited in your choices at IKEA, many will probably not support the weight.
