Hey gyre users! I'm considering getting a 250 to go in my 180 standard (6x2x2) and wanted to know what other powerheads people are running. I have 2 of the jebao cannons (pp20 the new and largest ones) that I think I may try to run periodically in conflicting flow of the gyre to create a random turbulence midtank and help get some water in the space between the megaflows. I also have smaller powerheads I (koralias and jebao) I plan to get flow lower in the tank from the back periodically. Thoughts?
I've never used a laminar flow powerhead before, so I don't know what the interaction of the other powerheads flow will be like. I have used dueling koralias before in my old 90 and was very happy with the results.
 
Granted I have a smaller tank and smaller power heads I have found this to work quite well so far.
On the right side of tank I have the gyre 150 running in pulse mode with short bursts. On the back wall facing the front I have 2 jebao wp 10 (one is the newer version), both set on w1 (the pulse) on a short burst cycle. They are all out of sync on timing so it will create as much variation in the movement as possible. Hope that helps.
 
I am also running a Gyre in pulse mode, but I have the pulses going from minimum speed to 40%, every 10-15 seconds. On the other end of the tank, I have one Hydor cycling on and off every 10 seconds.
