im thinking about adding 45s because traffic on 180s is not enough. Could someone tell me somethings about the 45s? I have never played them.

I suspect more ICM at the FT. But for the main part same chip ev play?

And if somebody has other suggestion of games i could add. Preferably with chip ev play style.

First half of the FT is more ICM heavy, 3-handed is actually less ICM heavy. ChipEV is ok for the rest but IMHO you should definitely consider ICM effects at FT2.

Aren't they really high rake on PS?

Right, I thought they were all 14%.

They might be beatable, but it's still hardly going to be the most profitable use of table space.

Im looking for something i can add:

a) along side my 180s which i play in the evening

or

b) another format which i can play during the day.

Probably just MTTs then, or move up to a higher buy-in level and get the volume of money in action that way.

Depends a bit on your skillset - maybe even cash game.

18 mans are ok but they are pretty heavy ICM 5 handed (i.e. more so than the bubble of a 9-man). It's a bit "specialist" IMHO. If you are going to do a format like that then go for regspeed so you at least get some time to exercise your edge and make your rake back.

You could consider just playing fewer tables for potentially a higher winrate.
