Asking $275 for a pair of Gyre XF-250 with controller. Ran for a little over two years. Still runs great and awesome flow but switched back to MP40qd. The included spare parts and net guards are still new/unused. Washed with vinegar already but could get a bit more elbow grease to get it more squeaky clean.

Located in San Jose near Neptune's weekdays or Santa Clara in the evenings and weekend.

I hate cleaning these. I don't have low nutrient system so I'm sure it contributes to faster algae growth too. Perhaps diluted muratic acid or citric acid would make it easier but never tried.
 
They definitely need to be cleaned more than MP40s (I have both on my 120) but I also like the flow of the gyres better. I just remove them and soak them in a vinegar solution for a couple of hours, rinse them, and put them back in the tank.
 
How does it contribute too algae growth in a nutrient rich tank? Due to more flow or just the surfaces of this product?
