Icecap 3k Gyre on 60g Cube

Mine are virticle one at each end but as I said it's not a standard shaped tank.

Nice tank! I think vertical might be the way to go with that mode. I believe in the video he was showing them vertical as well in that mode.

Thank you. On standard shapped tanks and cubes I have seen people run them horizontally on the ends and some people running on the back horizontally. Like I said, when you get it you will have to play around with it and find the spot and mode you and your inhabitants are happy with. :)

Heard a lot of good things about them so I pulled the trigger.
 
Well congrats. You will find people that like them and people that don't but it works that way with anything you buy.
People I have talked to in person haven’t said a bad thing and both fish store I got to use them in their tanks. Figured that had to be a good sign.

Bad part is my wife won’t let me open it till Christmas.
 
I run 3k on my 40breeder. 30% at gradual pulse.

Lots of hammers, torches and zoas. Anything above 30% seems to be too much for my tank.

I run mine 6” from the top on one side.

Good to know. I was thinking I would put it in the middle of one of my sides as well. What intervals do you use for your pulse?
 
Lot of ice Cap gyre users . Are they better built than the Maxpects? Iv'e had enough with them !
I do like the flow they put out.

Both store stores I go to use the 3k in there 60 gallon frag tanks. All I’ve heard is good things so I went with it. Trying to learn how to best run it from people.
 
1k will be perfect for your tank. Has nice display and flow features.
Start low flow and increase as needed without blasting water

After talking with some people I actually went with the 3k. They were saying better to run it between 10-30% than the 1k at 60-80%? I dunno maybe I’ll regret the larger size.

That being said I could still return it. It’s not open.

I have a 3k in a 360 and it pushes. may be too strong for 65g?

Running it horizontal or vertical and at what %? It says it can handle as little as 25g lol. I know that would be ridiculous for sure.

Its low flow alternating between 10 and 20%
