I have a 180DT with a 105 Refuge and use the following:
- EuroReef RS180
- Hydor 1000

The Hydor is about 1.5 months old, and I can say it is my favourite... It is rated at 265 gallons with heavy bioload. With it running with my EuroReef, I can see changes happening, things I didn't see before. You may want to look into this one as well.

Kevin @ Red Coral carries them and has one running in the store. This is where I saw it go and then decided to try.

i had a mini 200 there, they are rated for 265 gal IMO i would get the SM200 like Marie's or the 250 or even the one 300 cone that J&L has don't waste your money on the mini 200
like I did trust me its not that great. and I have had many skimmer's

this is what i would get ok.
BK supermarine 200, 250
the cone 300 BK red dragon and the vertex.
or the deltec 851 is a awesome on. that is what i have

150 gal with a 30 gal sump it pulls good stuff
what is your $$$ amount if you dont mind me asking.....
