Gyre just isn't working out for my tank due to dimensions. 5 feet long and 14 inches shallow, so it has trouble getting flow to the other side without kicking up sand below it (max I can have it on is 40%).

I know you shouldn't write negatives in a sale thread (it's not a review), but I want to be completely transparent - Another thing that bugs me is the fit and finish of the XF130, but I am pretty staunch about those things. If you put everything securely/tight together it sometimes gets stuck. You have to put it together pretty loosely.

I still have the box and manual.

Here is a picture of it in my tank for reference:

That's a beautiful tank. Do you have a build thread? What lights are those?
 
Oh and they are Nano Box Reef Duo's. Pretty solid LED's and I like how they use warm whites and lime greens in their light pucks.
