I have a 180, what size asm skimmer do you think?
It will be lightly stocked with about 8 fish from a 60gal and shroom and zoos, more stuff later

I have a 150g with 12 fishes in it. I am using a G3 and it work pretty good for me and it fits into my sump and cabinet perfectly. I don't know how much taller the G4 is.

G4X for a 180. G3x is great, but it maxes out at 100 gallons IMO (its what I use on my 100g)

Whats the difference between the g4 plus and the g4x? Is it only the size-the g4x is 30in tall vs 24

correct. I have the g4+ on my 180 and its awesome. did a few simple mods to it and its probably just as good as a stock g4x now. Its ozone safe too. so if you every decide to add on.

I am leaning towards the g4+, I think it will give me more room in my sump
