Did you hook the gyro first and then the power

gacolt · Jan 28, 2015

i got it working now.but its not very powerful.i have it at 80% power and i dont see any flow on the other side of the tank or in the middle of the tank.

Check to make sure the paddles or on take the outside cage off and make sure when you turn one they both move

Drop some pellets in tank this will show you the flow. You have to remember flow with gyre is not focused like power heads it is very wide

gacolt · Jan 28, 2015

both paddles are moving.all my sps pe have no movement at all

Do you by chance have it in tank upside down?

gacolt · Jan 28, 2015

not upside down.

gacolt · Jan 28, 2015

just put pellets in and they sink to the bottom.somethings not right

The gyre seems to be working now.i can see it pushing water from one side of the to the other but i have a 80% and it's nowhere near as much flow as my other setup so I still think there is something wrong.

I know which way are they turn you might have it in reverse

Ericsch333 · Jan 29, 2015

Make sure the blue light are on the left

gacolt · Jan 29, 2015

it on constant flow at 80%.its not in reverse flow.

Does it have random wave mode like the ecotech?

i submited a ticket to coralvue its been 6days and still have not heard back.i wish i did not buy this pump.

Have you tried rotating the flow cages and playing around with how deep from the waterline the pump sits (I'm assuming you have it horizontally mounted)? When I originally had set mine up, I got a lot of movement on the water surface but didn't seem to be too much flow across to the other side of the tank (60" tank). I started messing with the flow cage rotations making slight rotation adjustments cause for mine I noticed that just a slight rotation made a big difference on the flow direction. I also messed with the height and found the sweet spot and find that I have to turn it down quite a bit from before or else things start getting crazy in the tank. I have it set at 50% currently.

i have tried moving the cages around and moving it up and down on the side of the tank.the propellers are not reversed.the gyre reads maxspect not tcepsxam.i have to turn it up to 80%-100% to get the gyre effect

OK, just curious, what was your setup before? And how's your rock work? Are they tall and in the way of the flow path or is it pretty open? Sorry I'm no help, just seems really odd you wouldn't get flow on the other end since mine really goes crazy anywhere near the 70-100% setting. Maybe something is just busted on it. Good luck.
