What size should I get? It's going in a 20 long but I might want to move it around to different tanks to jump start cycling in the future, should I just grab the biggest one or will that be way too big in my 20 long?

I have 4s & 5s in my 20long. I take out the bottom spacer & cut the uplift tube in half.

I run them as is and skip the uplift tube.
