WTB: Gyre 130

[rockryno]

Setting up a new tank and wanted to try the Maxspect Gyre XF130. Anyone have one? Would love to hear what you think of it.

Yeah I would like to try one on my peninsula style 40breeder and see how it compared to 2 rw8s

I have one on the left side of my 95 gallon with two MP10's on the right. I actually like it and the corals seem to enjoy the alternating flow. There's no dead spots anywhere in my tank right now.

 

[rockryno]

I'm skeptical if it will be too big for a 20L. I guess there's only one way to find out...

 

[newbie916]

You'll probably just need to run it at 60%. You'll definitely have plenty of flow in a 20L

I have one on my 48 gallon. It's paninsula style without being positioned in a paninsula. I actually sold my mp10s for the maxpect. Flow is excellent. It moves water very well. Some people have had bad experiences with small snails getting caught in the propellers, but it hasn't happened to me. ..yet. It is a bit loud at 75% power. Easy to program. I'm happy with it. I might get another one later on but my corals seem fine with just one. I just leave it on long pulse, which is about 6 seconds on, then briefly off.

I have one on my 120 gallon 4' cichlids tank and had to turn it way down. No dead spots. This tank was a RR tank and used to get some detritus before.

Well I ordered one, I'll let you know how it works

On sale I hope? Black Friday is just around the corner

 

[rockryno]

Yep! If all goes well, I'll have an MP10 for sale soon.
