20 gallon maybe refugium

So I have a 20 long and wanted to put a cpr refugium and throw a tunze skimmer and the heater in it. My question is is that to much to hang on the back of the tank or is it ok?

Hypothetically I think you'd be fine. Always keep a close eye on the water levels of your equipment, especially the hang on fuge. Don't want it to overflow! I have never used a 'true' cpr hob 'fuge BUT I did have a CPR Skimmer that I used as just a little refugium. I put LR rubble in it but I could only put so much in without the water level rising over the top. I imagine their refugiums are much larger and you'll have no problem.

Thank you for the reply. I came across a good suggestion doing some more searching. Someone suggested to build a pvc support for a piece of mind. So I'm going to do that.

Ah yes, I thinking "will everything fit" not about structural integrity Def sounds like a good place, redundancy is everything with aquariums.
