Is gyre flow designed to be interrupted?

[Reefing102]

I currently have a Neptune Wave and Jebao SW 8 in my 65 gallon (36x18x24?) that are pointed at each other to create a colliding flow towards the middle of the tank. I’m looking at replacing these with Gyres, however I also have 2 koralia nanos in this tank. It seems the gyre flow has a specific pattern to it. So my question is will the flow from the Koralias cause too much disruption to the gyre flow effectively rendering it useless or am I overthinking things?

The gyres have a wider wave flow so they'll probably be fine (I run 4 gyres in my 160-gallon system and there's some intersection in the wave patterns).

Awesome thanks! I’m looking at the Jebaos as I can’t afford the maxspect or icecaps. Do you know if they’ll run upside down or if they have a reverse flow option? It doesn’t look like have a reverse flow. Thinking of using one to blow down behind my rockwork

The jebaos don't have reverse flow. Can't speak for the icecaps. For the money, I like the Jebaos. I have them in one tank and gyres in another.
