Default Exciting! The Maxspect Gyre

We are super excited about the Maxspect Gyre pump and wanted to make sure you knew about it. The type of water flow this unit creates will be extremely beneficial to reefs everywhere!



Check out these excellent video's giving an idea of the power and uniformity of the flow!

KZ Coral Snow shows the flow well at 2:48.

Good illustration of the different power levels.

You asked if you were missing anything and I answered, I phrased it like you asked it, I didn't mean to have any negative connotation to my reply.

From a few other threads on different boards some are hoping it will be on it's own. Are they able to be synced if you have more than one ?

I wonder how it would work with a wavebox as opposed to additional powerheads

- I had a quick look in the manual and at this time it doesn't mention having a second gyre unit connected to the controller. I hope this is something they offer in the future, as to enable fine control of two units.

- I've been wondering the same thing. I think it would be an excellent addition opposite a Wavebox, if you had slow pulse timing on the Gyre, or perhaps a vertical installation of the gyre. I have a hunch that between a Wavebox and a Gyre you wouldn't need anything else in many cases.

The pumps are now at the store!

I can't promise when the display model will go up but that is the plan at some point.

final opinion ... you need 2 of them,,, there claim of reverse gyre by running in A-A mode does not create a freindly-current when running in reverse... the power needed to push down the depth of the tank to create a full reverse gyre would kick up too much sand....

I recieved a email recently from the maxspect rep Jason that said in the first half of 2015 the multi-controller is going to be released. Im gonna hold out to see if they will sell it with multiple pumps at a discount. Two is usually cheaper then one.

Love mine, i use it in addition to one jebao wp40 on my 120 and have tons of flow everywhere in the tank. I use my gyre on pulse mode at 60%. Wish there is an "Else" mode on these like the Jebaos
