Has anyone used this pump I just ordered it after seeing only a few good videos online a bit of an impulse buy but I think should be good! What settings has anyone used mine is going in a 20 long. Any other suggestions about the pump?

I have one on a 4G pico, about a 10"x10" cube. I use the lowest setting I could find, Wave 2 Speed 1. Its high flow but perfect I think for my pico. Play around with the settings and find one you like! It should definitely be good enough for a 20L. Definitely use the feed mode (hold feed/speed for a few seconds) instead of unplugging every time you want to do something in the tank. The pause for feed mode lasts about 10 minutes.

Depends on the desired flow, if you want allot of water movement it's a solid-choice (as was already mentioned).
The stream from it is very broad, although I don't know if I would expect strong-flow to make it all the way across your tank without maxing it out.
I found turning it up too high made a decent area in-front of the pump more-or-less unusable for coral-placement in my own 20L.

Do you think mounting on one end would give the other end enough flow for some zoas and candy cane. I was thinking putting it on the end with my Duncan’s and the middle has some leathers, Stylo and birds nest end has zoas, another leather and a candy cane.
