There is none, it's on sale at J&L.

[Craigdillman]

I know !! dangit

[trilinearmipmap]

I am thinking of it but holding off because of possible noise issues and also I have already spent money on the pumps I have

[Madreefer]

Do it!:lol:
I had a hole in my pocket too. I ordered two of them on the 23rd. Overnight delivery. My wife went out for 15mins on the 24th and sure enough she came home to a note on the door from the UPS guy. So no delivery now until the 29th.
Just my luck, the only time I wish they would do the usual and throw on the doorstep and leave and it doesn't happen:lol:

Yea I can't seem to find a reason not too I have 2 mp10 on a pretty good wave mode on my 6 foot 125 does pretty good but a gyre vertical would rock the tank hmmmm

[Craigdillman]

Should I run the 2 mp10s on one side and gyre on another side ?

[Craigdillman]

The other thing I'm considering is one of the jebaco r20 pumps and run them opposite to my mp10s I already have ? save me 200$ Or think i the gyre will be "that awesome"

[mike31154]

2 x MP10 on a 6 foot tank? I'm surprised you find that is enough on a tank your size! I run MP40's on my 77, although not at full speed. Yes, you should use the cash burning a hole in your pocket for hardware that will provide a bit more flow in your tank. Whether it's a new Maxspect or something else, treat yourself & your salty critters.

I love my gyre. Only had it for two weeks but so far I am very impressed. I originally left my mp40 running along with it but have since taken it out. On my 6 foot tank and the gyre at 70% I have a ton of flow throughout the tank. My sps love it. I have honestly never seen such good polyp extension.

Heres a reason... It has a cord on it. Who wants to see cords coming out of their tank???

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

Was told by a fellow local reefer that it's silent up to 40%, but starts whining at 50% and is really annoying at 100%. And that this is a common complaint from other users, not just his.

That's why I ordered two. The cords suck yes but two cords are better than the five cords from my Tunzes. At least the Gyres can be put near the surface so kind of less cord in the tank.

I still think my Vortechs were the best water movers I've had but couldn't take the noise any longer even after having several of them replaced on warranty.
Tunzes are silent but too big and well.......the ugly cords.
Derailed this thread :lol: sorry

Bill, how do you feel about cords?? :)

The same feeling I have for clove polyps:lol:

[Craigdillman]

I think the deed is done ordered it before i could think about it anymore lol looking forward to it ill post some pics before and after

[rynoe]

Regarding the noise reports. You can certainly hear the pump but I can tell you it is way quieter then my vortechs ever were.

Perhaps a salt pole is in order?:mrgreen:

Personally I love cords , I don't know how to achieve that cordy look without them:noidea:

They're fun to zap strap and organize

Also makes it so you don't have to get your arms wet when you pull them out to clean them

[Craigdillman]

This thread turned epic lol

[Craigdillman]

WOW imm...pressed I knew it was gonna be good but it really is blowing the voetech a OUTA the water. Now I know I was a little low on flow before running with only 2 mp10s but I had them on wave mode and with a wave action I found them to be pretty good. But wow

This is on 40% constant mode and it's rocking the tank at the far end
It's 1000% quiter then my mp10 on short pulse mode
It's covering 98% of the tank but the far end back corner but I have rock work there so yea

All in all I've noticed in 24hrs my fish are all out more my polyps on my SPS which I thought had great extension now at night have insane extension, my sun corals have been out 24/7 since

Love it if your on the fence get it I got it at 40% and I can take every other pump out now

I'll post some video after

[vanreefer]

Still liking the gyre... Try to decide if I want to try one... Going for a super quiet tank this time around.

[duncangweller]

I honestly can't say that I like it. I was having better results with a couple of jebao wp25s.

[vanreefer]

What dont u like about it?

[duncangweller]

Mine is really noisy, even just at 40%, I also find I have dead spots below it where I get detritus buildup, I didn't have that with my jebaos. Maybe mine is a dud
