Gyre XF-130

Brian Mountain · Jul 4, 2016

how is everyone positioning their gyre, horizontal, perpendicular, side, back, etc?

I've been thinking about purchasing one to run vertical. How are you liking yours

Horizontal on top.

Like so far but no real experience yet.

I have Two 130's in my tank on either end running a 40%. I have movement to say the least. It is quarterly tare-down and clean day today after about 3 months the get a build up of stuff on the blades and that low the circulation. They are great pumps and you will here a few wining but just as in our tank maintain the Gyre's and you will be happy. I also have a MP-40.

Top? Back wall? My overflows in corner are keeping me from running horizontal on side wall.

What setting do you run them on?

Right side middle. Set at about 50% and creates a wave about 1/2 inch from the top of the tank.

I have a second 150 that I was going to put on the opposite side. But I could rock the water completely out of the tank with the one. So needless to say, I never put it in.

I believe Adam at Battlecorals runs his Gyres vertical as well.

I guess he does all right growing coral. LOL!

Guess he does?? Ha ha

Would you ever want to sell your 150?

I run constant flow at 50% I think is said 40% earler. I am saving for the modules that hook up to the Apex so that I can turn them down to 20% at night.
