Gyre 300 series?

Justfebreezeit · Mar 4, 2019

Dang im jealous! Can't wait to hear your opinions.

I will defiantly post an update when its in my tank, right now I only have the returns on my tank so this should be a big help with flow.

does the 300 series work with the 200 series extension cord? Or icecap one?

Anyone receive their new Gyre 300 unit? Mine just arrived today but its at home and I'm at work so it will have to wait.

I got mine yesterday. Looked at it and put it back in the box. I’m going away for a week on Saturday and don’t want to make any tank changes before I leave. Very tempting though.

dang you guys! im waiting to see pics of them installed!

Edit: @Bulk Reef Supply still is unsure when they will get them and its driving me crazy!

I finished up installing it, great unit, its pretty quiet it is the first gyre pump I have used so I don't have any comparison with the older ones. The only sound I hear is a slight hum when it changes speeds up and down, this is on the side of my tank, on the back I could barely hear anything. I ordered the controller for this so I can use the app to change things I think it will be a lot easier than the pump unit.

Sorry, I'll have to grab one tonight.

Here's 3 really cool things about them.

1. Redesigned the pump with less parts and a more intuitive cleaning & assembly. EASY TO TAKE APART AND CLEAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2. compatible with the Maxspect Connect ICV6 module allow app control
3. Twin Directional Flow Cages

We still have about 40x left of the first 180x we got in if you guys want one. We just reloaded with a top of of stock. It's probably going to be at least a month until the second US shipment arrives.

I had the 250's. I just got mine yesterday and I would have to say it's quieter.

Will the magnet hold on 14 mm glass?

H2Ocooled · Mar 7, 2019

That magnet is very strong, I had to get something under it to remove it from the tank. Not sure what its rated for though.

I believe 14mm is just over 1/2 inch. The XX 330 is up to 1/2 inch. I got the 350 and it’s rated up to 3/4 inch.

Great thanks , that was one complaint I used to read about = the magnets not holding.

The magnets are very strong. I’ve had the 250 models and now theses. They held well.
