The vertex in 250 is pretty tall and the skimz pumps are yet to be proven.

I would look sro 3000 int or the JNS sk5. Both of those would be perfect for 180.

I have had pretty much everything out there and can tell you, you will pleased with either one of those two.

hey Mojo, welcome to canreef. Hope you can come here often.
I have a sro 3000 int on my 180G. Although I am generally happy about it, I sometime feel it's a little under power for a 180G tank. I don't have space in the sump otherwise I would go with a sro 5000.
BTW, some early discussion about rusty screws in bubble blaster pumps. That issue has been fixed. If you have older BB pumps, you can email jeremy@coralvue.com to get some replacement screws.

Having used all the skimmers listed, i would say Vertex is the better.
SWC is a close second.
