I'm curious as to how the gyre would work on a cube tank. I have a 30" x 30" tank. I have tried researching it bit haven't found any info.

If its looking good then it could be a Christmas treat for myself.

It comes with a pump and power supply so I understand it to replace powerheads.

Yes, I just see it being demonstrated in bare tanks (ie. sales pitches) with no powerheads but in fully stocked "mature tanks" with powerheads

Default Demo?

Jeff, I assume you will have one on demo at the store? Would love to see one "live" before committing i wonder if some people will have to rescape their tanks to make full use of the gyre current?

I recieved a email recently from the maxspect rep Jason that said in the first half of 2015 the multi-controller is going to be released. Im gonna hold out to see if they will sell it with multiple pumps at a discount. Two is usually cheaper then one.

Love mine, i use it in addition to one jebao wp40 on my 120 and have tons of flow everywhere in the tank. I use my gyre on pulse mode at 60%. Wish there is an "Else" mode on these like the Jebaos
