What are your tank dimensions? Are all the other pumps off including the return?

He posted the video. Looks great.

It's 48 inches long I'll get you the other dimensions. I had a tunze stream on one side, an mj1200, and a hydor 1400. The only thing on was the return. I'll make another video later with the return off. It's a jebao dc pump

It was only on speed 6 of 10 (so basically running medium power)...

I put it max power and I thought my green torch flesh was gonna rip off

Can you pulse at full power?

Yes you can. w1 pulses and you can control how long between each interval with the knob.

No - I mean can you do that and take a video so your torch doesn't get ripped but we can see the flow at full power.

From the manual...
"self protective function"
This is the part I really hope jebao got right as I feel one of the issues with the maxspect is that those safety features are what causes the pump to be unresponsive (perhaps they are set too sensitive on the maxspect). The safety measures should be dialed way down to allow the power of the motor to have every chance to overcome an issue on its own first.
On jebao's wp/rw line of pumps they didn't include a safety shutdown feature (which is the way it should be as I don't want the electronics causing issues that raw power through the pump might eventually overcome); if they had the line probably would have been a truly epic failure...

Is it quiet, like the Jebao RW 8?
I own 3 rw8s. If you go close to it you hear when it turns off and on for one of the wave modes. It's pretty much the same noise lvl as the gyre if you listen very closely. So it's pretty quiet.

is that the biggest RW you have?

Yep. I have a 46 gallon so I don't need much more. Btw the new models have been released. The PP 4,8, 15. We have em at the shop.

ok. I run WP60 x 2 ... trying to compare this gyre to that on noise and flow

I have them set at 5 notches on the tank and I can't hear a thing. Only if I press my ear to the glass. The video had it at full blast so what you hear is in full gear.

Thanks.
I have a standard 210gal (6ftx2ftx29") and I already have two RW 20's and one wp60 running in there. I was planning on adding a 3rd rw20 to the mix (I'm all sps) but perhaps I could get the gyre instead.
Do you think the gyre moves a significant more amount of water than a rw20?

Other than the mount is there any difference between the PP and RW?
