I wouldn't use it on a 20g. Its made for like under 10g tanks, despite what it says. Its only a 1 liter container, and I suggest using 2 2L bottles of DIY on a 20g to have adequate co2 levels.

If you inject co2, you don't need a bubbler...you'll be outgassing what co2 you put in.

You only have 15w of light, so you don't really need to inject co2. CO2 injection can't make up for lack of light.

You have way too many Angels in that tank. I wouldn't even keep 1 Angel in there. Are you going to keep a breeding pair? If not, I'd either upgrade or choose new fish. A breeding pair would still be pushing it in that size tank....but some people do it.
