What size Ca reactor

My tank is a 180 G and is pretty heavy SPS. I currently have a Korallin C1502 and it is no longer keeping up.

I am considering a Geo and debating between the 618, 624 and an 818.

I can get an 818 for $400 and so am leaning that way unless it is just too much of an overkill?

I really like the Vertex but on the BRS site it states only up to 120 G SPS dominant tank.

Watch ya'all think?

You can always tune one back, you can't get more out of one than its max capacity. I ran into this recently on my 450G. I would go for the biggest your budget and space will allow for. Plus, if you up-size at some point, you'll be better positioned.
