ev series skimmers

[jdair101]

Hello out west
I've been fighting with a berlin XL that I didn't check out before I was talked into buying at the LFS. Anyway I have been looking to replace it with something better and am asking for advice from others that may be using other skimmers. My system is a 60"X18X24 built into a wall with a 25 gal sump. I'm using a LG 3mdqx return and 3 power heads for water movement. There are currently only a few softies and 6 fish in the tank but will be adding more as time goes on. I'm in the process of installing a 25gal fug to be located above the main tank and a small power head to feed it. Also waiting for the arrival of a VHO settup that will have 3 60" URI's with 2 NO's for atnics.
Anyway, i'm looking at the ev-180 that JL has and would like advice (good or bad) as this will hopefully be my last skimmer purchase for a while. I am open to other suggestions but I can't spend the farm?(that would be hard to explain to the ----WIFE----)
