Thanks again Rich!
Thanks Jonny for posting!
Thanks all for the good chat and for helping to reorient the gyre even if we couldn't get it done in time to showcase it on Rich's tank.
Btw, I just sat with it for an hour in different configurations.for some reason all of the bearings, internal gears (removable) etc were backwards or something. So, now with cage a and b (I think the company mislabeled them) it's AWESOME. Super powerful and actually blowing in the direction it was promoted to.
So, given that. I would recommend it (esp of you put the time into ensuring the pieces are actually aligned right. Glad I didnt give up).
