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.....

I have the Vertex Alpha 300 Kone skimmer and it is super efficient, totally quiet and absolutely no bubbles in the sump or tank.

They have a very small footprint and work quite well. They are expensive, so if price doesn't matter, you might want to look at them as well. I used one, very easy to setup and very small footprint on all models... They are a gentler skimmer (not as aggressive in the churning of water), so I don't know if this would work for you, but maybe a consideration.
