Hello everyone,

I would use two. Gyres work best with more than one.

If you run the gyre full blast on one end, you will be averaging a 33x turnover rate per hour - that is not including what your return pump is pushing out (if you use a sump). I personally would get something like an 800gph powerhead to throw on the opposite side of the tank and use it to hit hard to reach spots that the gyre can't reach. Hope this help and this is only my 2 cents so take it with a grain of salt!
