What mode do you run your Gyre on?

[pdiehm]

Tore down the 120 to replace the overflow box. Getting ready to start it back up within the next 3-4 days. Cleaned off my Gyre and got to wondering what mode everyone ran theirs on.

I was running mine on constant during cycle. Got to thinking that maybe I would use pulse mode. Alternating was something I wanted to use, but to do alternating right, you had to have 2 different paddles on it, and either way you would only get half a gyre. Thought about just leaving it at default and run alternating, but that essentially just cleans the paddles, does very very little in reverse.

I have 2 XF-130's in my tank and run one on constant mode and other on pulsing.

Have current where I want it so far.

Run mine on pulse

Also do you have the gyre mounted vertically or horizontally?

Trying to figure out if I can mount it vertically on the back with a full coast to coast overflow.

The X-150 in my 90g I run on Constant Speed. The X-130 in my 40B I run on alternating. Both of them mounted horizontal.

I run my XF150 on pulse at 30% in a 105 gallon mixed reef. It is mounted horizontally.

My xf130 is vertical and I run on pulse.

I'm going to try it vertically on alternating mode. My only concern is that the tip of the 150 will be about 1/2" below the overflow box (about 4-4.5") below the water surface.

I run my XF150 horizontally on pulse mode at 40% in my 90G.
