Skimmer for 180g?

I'd appreciated some recommendations for a skimmer for a 180g. I've been looking for a USED skimmer and am overwhelmed by the choices. Thanks.
 
Tell us a little about your setup.
What are you stocking?
How much total water volume?
Do you need an In-sump or external skimmer?
 
Without the questions above answered I will say that I run a SWC xtreme 200. I wish I had gotten the 250. If you bide your time you can get a good deal on them. If you end up with a skimmer using a sicce pump I highly recommend the ATB purple pinwheel as well.
 
I am a big fan of Deltec skimmers they are great to use. Pricey however... but if you can get a good deal on a used one, would be worth it.
 
My sump is about 40 gallons; I have about 180 lbs of rock and would like to have a mixed reef with sps. I won't go overboard with fish. I have an chance to get a used das ex-2. Any thoughts?
