If the price of helfrici wasn't so much these days I would love one, also the exquisite fire fish with yellow bellies are pretty neat and they dwarf the regular ones.

Oh shoot, I will get a picture next time.
boxing day sale, I might pick another one up.

Thank you sir, BTW, I still have your oxygen sensor. Let me know how you want me to get it back to you.

Hey Rich I have a question for you... I know this build you went with a couple of tunze and gyre, and your last build you had mo40s... which do you prefer? I'm looking to upgrade my flow in my 75g and I currently have a tuze and a new korelia

I like the directional adjustability of my Tunzes and the reliability of the whole Tunze line of wave pumps. Gyres are new and so far imho it has proven to be rather reliable and the share volume of water those gyre moves is second to none. My experience with mp40 has not been too good, darn things were noisy and breaks all the time. However, I can't speak for the new gen ones as I have never owned one. For the price you are paying I would choose gyre follow by tunze than mp40. But all this is just my personal opinion. I know a few reefers on here are dieheart mp40 fans but they are wrong. Lol

Anyone that can take a half decent wrasse picture has my admiration. My pics all look like pink/orange/yellow streaks. Love the Oregon Tort, how long have you had it? I haven't managed to locate a frag yet...

You have the 200 series Gyre or the 100 series? I had an XF150 for a year in my tank, and found it noisy even with brand new (150) motor and mounting blocks. I installed a couple XF230 for a friend and they were really noisy too. I agree with you, Tunze are still hard to beat, and the MP fans out there are definitely wrong. Tunze has been making noise for a couple years now about a new controller in response to the programming/controllability of the MP and new Gyres, but I think they still have yet to release it. It seemed like it was close last fall, but I haven't heard much since. I'll be first in line on that bandwagon as soon as it's available.

Thanks myka, I had the Oregon tort for bout 2 years it's been a slow grower but it's coming around. We can work out deal on a frag...👌

Gyres I run are the 150s. I had a slight breaking period with some excess noise but after that it was all good. I do ran a maxpect dual controller and during pulse it makes some decent noise from the ramp up and ramp down but nothing my ati fans wouldn't drown out lol. Tunzes are the staple pumps, low maintenance and good performer. When ever the power is out, those are my go to pumps. I think flow technology has hit its pinnacle. I can't see them making it anymore efficient than what they are now all the other brands are just duplicates.
