For the HOB, you can cut the media rack up at the joints use them as dividers to make a small fuge. There are a lot of build threads online you can find. I would personally just keep it stock and run filter floss and chemipure elite in it.
Lighting can be a bit difficult for a high tank. Maybe look into T5HO or metal halides

Its completely possible to do a reef in a 20 gallon tank. I have one in a 3 gallon! filter floss is that blue and white filter stuff that comes in sheets and you usually cut into the size you need.

No need for a sump for anything under 50 gallons. Just keep up with 10-20% water changes a week. That is all that is needed.
For lighting, maybe Current USA Nova Extreme SLR. I think you would want the 30 inch saltwater version, possibly the 36 inch (there may be some hang over the sides, but not really an issue, better coverage IMO). I've used the Nova Extreme series from the SLR to the Pro's. They make really nice T5HO fixtures.

It is about $250 right now on Foster and Smith. I have the 20 inch.

If you got it for your tank, I believe that it will be more than enough for clams and SPS. Only problem is you might have to make your own mounting legs for it to fit on top of your tank

Didn't realize I was replying to two different threads and one was deleted. But for your last question about the filter.
It is essentially for surface agitation and filtration. I would add a Korila Nano 240 to one end of the tank for more flow.
