Yep. Be sure the intake is clear and not faced at the glass or too close to the waterline.
Think I got it set pretty well right now but had to leave for work. Guess we'll see how everything did when I get home today lol.

Anyone have problem about noise that they make?
First couple hours change the pump mode is dead silent and strong next day or late night I can even hear whirring sound from motor
I need to turn off and back again. Any solutions?
Just did this on mine. Thanks for the tip!So I got this for my nuvo 20, this thing is way to strong for a nano. I tried every configuration but the flow was way to much no matter what I did. Examining the cage I notice how the intake ports were a lot larger then the exhaust port. So I swap Cage A and Cage B with each other. By swapping them, the intake ports becomes smaller and the exhaust ports larger. You take in a lot less water and have a gentler broader exhaust flow. Probably not the proper way to run things but for you nano owners it's something to try out.
Have you tried running it with just one side, turned down?Following… trying to get the hang of the controller, very frustrating so far. It seems way too strong at 10 to 20 % on my Nuvo 30l..
I haven't tried that yet...I might try what sjet said & trade the cases (So I swap Cage A and Cage B with each other. By swapping them, the intake ports becomes smaller and the exhaust ports larger.)Have you tried running it with just one side, turned down?
Good point. I run bare bottom and did not consider that.vertical would blow the sand big time.
Since I originally I posted this thread I have got away from the 1k. Not that it is a bad pump at all in fact for nanos with sand it can easily be to much. As I have said before barebottom sps tank is perfect for these. The funny part is I have done the opposite of you and gone from the 1k to two mp10s. I find the mp’s give me a nice flow. I like the wave effect they will do. In my case I’m not so much worried about price though I get your point and it is great we have so many more options these days. As a side not I have had a few issues with my 1k but they have been temp issues and just needed new parts or cleaning.I’m loving the switch from 2 vortech Mp10’s to one Icecap 1K gyre on my Sps dominant Red Sea max nano. Right now I have it vertical in the back corner. I also had it horizontal on one side of the glass. The flow is perfect in either orientation. The price is outstanding for what you get. I’m loving more and more that there is healthy competition between companies benefiting reefers. Ecotech prices are ridiculous and it just goes to show other products do just as good of a job at a very affordable price.
Can I ask what percentage you are running? I am thinking about putting one on my reefer nano too but it will be a slightly lps dominated tank so I need to know if I can turn it down enough.Thanks for the feedback Sheep. While the Mp10’s had good flow, on a Max nano it started looking like a science project with all the pumps and wiring hanging off the tank. It took away from the sleek look of the tank which was my first motivation to switch. I hope the 1K stays trouble free and I have zero sand displacement at 40 percent random due to my rock scape. Right now it does the job at 1/5 the price. I may hold on to the 2 Mp10’s for a short while just to make sure this pump is reliable and my Sps are happy with it.
