Algae scrubber

[HB AL]

I've never owned one but have read some good things and one seems like a great addition to my 180g heavily stocked reef. I'm not looking to pay an arm and a leg for one but I'm looking to make sure I get one that works great and is the right size for my tank, also I want to be able to have it inside my stand. I'm looking for you experienced guys with these to give me some different options on which ones would be my best option. Thanks for any advice.

Best $30 I have spent thus far
