My Maxspect Gyre Generator Review (Short with video!)
I've recently installed the Maxspect Gyre Generator, and in short I love it. It ended up doing more than I anticipated, and I had some concern because I had to position it vertically, as opposed (To what I feel as a better idea) horizontally. In the video below, what I want everyone to notice is the debris flying around. I had just done some clean up, and thought this a perfect opportunity for people to spot the flow pattern. I have it set to pulsate (Very slowly) at about 50% power. This is in my 100G half-cylinder. I truly believe this is a wonderful product for my specific needs (I believe the fish and coral like it more than my original set up of a single Reeflo dart hybrid with two sea swirls). I apologize for the quality of the video, I posted it up in a bit of a hurry as I am tending to my sick four year-old (Stomach bug, yuck!).

I do hear the pump running some, but given the rest of my equipment, like my skimmer and my currently troublesome Mag 12, it's silent. When I get my other pump issues fixed, I'm sure it'll still be silent in comparison. Also, Chris from CoralVue has stated that it will get a lot quieter as the pump breaks in... so there's that good piece of news.
