Which powerhead for my cadlight 68g? Vortech/gyre?

lyscer · May 22, 2015

I am looking for a clean and sleek look that really moves some water. The tank will be Sps dominant so I have been considering doing an mp40qwd and an mp10 but wanted to see what others thought or if there is a better bang for my buck. I also need the powerhead to be quiet.

Thanks!

I would do the MP40 and MP10 instead of the gyre. I don't see what all the excitement about the gyre is about. Its just another way to move water around.

I like my gyre. Few reasons. Moves alot of water and over a big space. you can kinda hide them on the back wall! Cost isn't bad either xf130 is what 200?. I mean 700 bucks for a mp40 and a mp10. I would do the gyre

I may try the gyre. I finally finished squad aping today and could easily put it on the back wall of my tank. I figure it should be easy to sale if I decide I don't like it. Thanks for the input.

Gyre gets my vote as well. Very discreet, moves a lot of water without having to move the pump all over the place. For all that it does, cannot beat the price. My SPS seem to love it [emoji2]

Jabeo RW 15 $78 on Amazon it will more then take care of your needs I gave it a shot after my MP 10s would not work on my 3/4 acrylic tank its a 4ft tank and it way to powerful for my tank I probably should have gone with the Rw 8 great bang for the buck
