Maintain your HOB Filter!

For the spray bars, just take the brush they give you and take out the bio wheel, let it float or something and just brush over the spray bars while the filters on and stuff. It's usually calcium build up or a piece of carbon thats in there.

Is it better to use two small filters as opposed to one big one?

I typically double up on filters when I had a 55 I had a fluval 403 on it. on my 120 I have 2 AC110s an a fluval 403 for extra bio.

The Hagen Aquaclear 110 is rated at 167-500gph and designed for use in a tank of 100g and below, It is a bit excessive in a 20g.
I used 2 plus a UGF made for a 55g tank in a 150 containing (8-9) 9"RBPs and the combo worked great
