Exciting! The Maxspect Gyre

[duncangweller]

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.

ok so pardon my ignorance, is this supposed replace powerheads, lessen the need for so many powerheads or work in accordance with powerheads?

I think replace powerheads.

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

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?

We plan on putting one on display but we're just not sure exactly when at the moment. We are going to satisfy preorders first!

So unless I'm missing something with these, they really only cause a circular flow in one direction, thus on one side of towering/large aquascaping and larger pieces there will be dead/slow spots plus corals only getting the unnatural flow/current from one direction vs a set-up of vortechs or tunzes set up on opposite ends. How is this going to effect growth patterns ? Just when you consider how the tides coming in and then back out or currents change. I suppose you could mount one on each side/end to get this effect. For the dead spots a guess you could use power heads but then you are disrupting the flow effect that you are trying to achieve.
