Gyre Nano

[kwirky]

I did it! I built my gyre nano tonight! I'm waiting for the silicone to dry. I won't have time to video tape it tomorrow, but in a few days I'll post a video of how crazy this design can ramp up water flow. Yesterday I was playing with the dividers without siliconing them, just holding them, and it was indescribable how well the water looped around, building up momentum. I'm just itching to put water in it tomorrow and play

It's going to be an SPS tank. Don't know whether to use 2' T5, or a single 250W MH. I already have T5's on my 120g, so I'm thinking of trying MH out on this. The platform gives a display area of 24x12x12". The 12" depth makes it perfect for a strictly SPS tank

Can anyone think of anything that's neutrally bouyant to put in the water to show the movement? I'm thinking crushed egg shells would work probably.
