I like the aqua UV line and I am running their 57-watt model on my 180.

I like them and I believe they help with algae and a bit with disease. Aqua U.V. is the only way to go. CL TurboTwist have leaked on me twice so stay away from them. Aqua U.V. 57w is what I would go with. Maybe run 6-700 gph through it. If you really want to go serious get an 80w unit (dual 40w bulbs). The only other brand that I can recommend is Emperor Aquatics. They have some BADA** units but I don't know how affordable, I usually stick with what I know.
