A Gyre pump your budget can get along with? YES, PLEASE.

[Tanya25]

Does it have feed mode?

I've got a mixed 60 cube with the Profilux 4 on the way. This might be an answer to a new powerhead without having to buy a supplement connection.

I've heard great things about the water movement but the durability is somewhat of a concern.

I guess I do some more research and decide whether or not to pull the trigger.

 

[Mattyice008]

How would this do on a SCA 50g cube? I have the rock set up in a horse shoe shape facing the front. Have 2 Jebao's on it now, but I get a few dead spots

 

[cperry7467]

I heard the magnet on the inside is exposed. Is the magnet coated by anything? If not is there a risk of it rusting?

GPH on lowest setting? Nano version in the works? Show us nano guys some love lol

I'm wondering if you guys think one of these would be all the flow that I need for the inside of a 40-gallon breeder mixed tank

Yes should be fine. I think it starts 25-100 gallon tanks.

 

[fishbox]

Yes should be fine. I think it starts 25-100 gallon tanks.

I know the amount of flow is fine. I'm wondering about the randomness and ability to hit all areas of the tank leaving little to no dead spots

 

[ethridge78]

Think this would work in a shallow 60g 40x24x15

 

[Jaxon]

I have one ordered, it's in transit, excited to get it Thanks BRS

 

[Salt Kreep]

Arrives tomorrow. Gonna be a long day at work....

 

[NanoDJS]

WANT !

 

[Sahin]

Love the flow thats provided by pumps with this design...but the Maxspect quality issues has prevented me from investing in a couple of these for my tank. The Icecap is hopefully much better in the quality of parts aspect.

 

[Salt Kreep]

Unboxed mine last night but got home too late to install the 3K. My tank inhabitants will have to bear one last night of my 8 year old Vortech grinding away its bearings.

Out of the box the pump felt like something produced by one of the higher end mfg's, build quality similar to a tunze or vortech pump. Thick cables between pump and controller. Stay tuned.

Will the ice cap battery backup for the gyre work with this pump

Under investigation [/QUOTE]Was there ever an outcome on this. I would like to use this as a stand alone pump hooked up to the icecap battery backup in case of a power failure

 

[Salt Kreep]

I put the 3K into my tank (55 gal, I know, but it's there for a reason...) and yeah, this pump moves water ...ALOT.

It is a significantly noticeable improvement in terms of water movement around the entire tank.
I have it oriented vertically so it creates a true gyre. It won't fit in a 55 Gal with both sides horizontally, unless it's tilted.

It is a different flow pattern entirely from a Vortech. It's noticeably more quiet then an MP40. Now my skimmer is the loudest component in the room. These are my own observations, that's all....I don't want to turn this into a Vortech vs. Gyre thread.

That's good to hear. I have one on the way. I got it for a 40B but I think I'm going to try it in my 75 and see how it does.

Does it have feed mode?

10 minute feed mode

 

[ethridge78]

10 minute feed mode

How about the battery backup?

Double-checking on other questions with manufacturer - I'll reply back as soon as I have definite answers!
