Maxspect Gyre & Vortech combined?

[Zoran]

HI all,

I am currently using Maxspect Gyre 300 series XF350 on my Red Sea Reefer 350 (mix tank) and looking into getting a Vortech MP40, I think this will give the tank a lot of random flow.

Has anyone tried mixing the two together and what were the result? also, what mode/power setting are you running on both?

Thank you in advance

I run 4 MP40’s on my tank via WXM. They cycle through all modes over the course of the day. Then on my overflow box I use a gyre 150. Not a dead spot in the tank

I have a 250 and an mp40 on my 75g. Love the combo.

I run the gyre on constant at 30% and the Vortech in Reef crest maxed at 50%.

I run 2 230’s and an mp10 in my 90. Short pulse on all pumps.

Thank you all for the reply. This forum has been amazing, I've been a lurker for a long time

So I went ahead and got the Ecotech yesterday. I've been running the Gyre on pulsing mode all this time and when I put in the MP40 and set in Nutrient Transport Mode, instantly I see a lot of debris from the sand bed getting picked up. Doesn't look like I have any dead spot at all. So I am happy with the decision so far.

Edit: the noise on the Vortech ramping is pretty loud at 60%, whereas, the Gyre make no noise at 70%
