Gyre 130's placement on a 6ft 180g

[Taylor Harnden]

Hey guys I'm looking for suggestions on placement and settings for 2 gyre 130's on a 6ft 180g reef tank.

I currently have them set on pulse mode at 75% pulsing every 3secs. The pumps are located on opposite side walls one pump towards the front glass and the other towards the back glass.

Any suggestions are welcomed

Hello Taylor I have 2 250's on my new 180. I have them on opposite cycles. 0 to 100 at 10 sec intervals. then backwards 0 to 100. I really can't tell yet as I just put the 1st 50 lbs in the tank. However they seem to be doing very well. Is your tank established with rock and all? Maybe You could give me some insight !

How do you like the new controller? I'm debating on saving up for it! My tank is about 4 months old. I'm getting decent flow with how I have it set up I just wanted some other opinions. I'm using 130's though. I added some pics of my tank for reference.

Do you have an Apex? Another option is to buy 2x of the icecap modules with the dual cable for some alternating gyre action.

Nice tank Taylor, I wouldn't be afraid to bump them up to 100%. On the new controller? well ahhh I have a friend who set it for me. I have no idea how to get into the differing functions but I'm learning !!
