Recommend me a skimmer for my new 180g

[rskillz]

I have the NW150 Octopus now in my 72, and even though I love it, I doubt it will cut the mustard.

My budget is around $500, hopefully less. I'd prefer in sump, but recirc could work too.

Ideas?

I know they are more money but I love the Alpha 200 from Royal Exclusive. Completely silent and very well built.

I collect the dadgum things. I know, it's sick.

I'm always fiddling with them and changing them around. I have a dozen or so, I guess.
