Max Spec Gyre XF330 Cloud two pack, 66 gallon cube - too much?

[nursedude]

Hey all!

Hoping someone who owns these can weigh in. BRS has a smoking sale on these gyres, will they be too much for my 66 gallon cube (32x24x22).

I felt two turned down would be better than one single gyre, but are these overkill? I also have two Tunze 6040s which weren’t enough flow when this tank was setup previously. Thanks!

two, turned down is indeed better than one. i would go that route as i'd rather have more flow, than need to purchase another gyre outside of the sale.

Will this be to much flow? Or ok for my tank size?

I run 2 on a 36x18x18 tank, running 50% pulsing .7s and anti sync. I can probably run at 40%.

Oh awesome. Sounds like they will work. Thank you!

I run two, on random flow set with 60% max, work just fine...

I intend to use them as part of my next build, so running at a reduced setting is better than having to upgrade down the line IMO.

You've done well with your choice. I'll be running three of these bad boys in my upcoming 203g build. Just turn them down and you'll have no issues.

I pulled the trigger on the Gyre XF330 Cloud Edition - Double Package as it was on sale for 342.00 at BRS. So I hope I love them.

That’s a good deal and yeah, running big pumps on a low power setting is a popular way to have quiet tanks while also buying gear that can be used for a future upgrade. A single Tunze 6095 powers my whole 30g nano on pulse at half power and it’s basically silent at this point.
