dimensions are 8 x 2 x 2 .me posting videos is not gonna happen. not that I don't wanna I just don't know how and have very little patience with these freakin computers. when I first turned the pump on it was in constant mode at 100% it was pushing water over the top of the return 4 feet away, there was some concern at first that the water was gonna splash out of the tank so I quickly shut it down. at 70 % im getting pretty good wave action to the half way point then small ripples to the end. I think if the overflow wasn't so big ,( it sticks out like 6 inches from the back ) the waves would be a little bigger all the way to the end.i can see the gyre work in my tank so at 18 inches you would have no problem. but the width I don't know about. you could place it vertically but I think that may trap crap in the middle. worse case you would need two.

any concerns on not having the flow change direction? I just put one in my tank and love it but im contemplating getting a second to try and get the alternating flow.

I have thought about it,but for now I am enjoying the clean no pump look from the one end of the tank that faces the dinning room.i might try another one in a few months,put one on the back of the tank vertically.
makes sense. I really do like the clean look at the moment with just one. The only issue is i have the pump shooting away from the only overflow and i'm getting a bit of a film on the surface at that end.
Also, found another great thread where it sounds like they are going to introduce an upgraded controller and some apex control
Right now I'm using the Gyre in the left end of my tank (facing the overflow) and two Tunzes (one 6055 and one 6105) at the other end (at both sides of the overflow). They alternate each 6 h, controlled by the power bar of the Profilux. It is amazing, but now the Tunzes are noisier than the Gyre working at 40% (which is enough flow for my 140 gallons tank).
I'm seriously thinking about replacing the Tunzes by another Gyre set vertically besides the overflow. That way the tank would have an horizontal gyre and a vertical gyre alternating each 6 h.
Corals and fish are very happy with the gyre movement of water. Me too!. And I have reduced the number of the pumps inside the tank
