![]() I have mine 2.5 inches below, but I turn the knobs 1-2 clicks so that I get water turbulence.
when I tried a vertical placement, I had them in the middle so I could capture as much as possible of the sand bed and top. |

![]() Mine is 3 inches down but tilted slightly up to it creates surface turbulence. I find that if I place it any higher up it sucks in a vortex of air.

![]() I have a XF150 that is about 1" below the surface horizontally on one end of my 36" tank. It runs in pulse mode - about 10 seconds on/off at 60%. My tank is 98% SPS, but the LPS that are in there (Torch, Frogspawn, Pectinia, Open Brain) are in sheltered areas where they can deal with the flow. If I turn the Gyre off the LPS inflate more, but screw them, they are just LPS.

![]() So ive tried horizontally on the back of my tank. i tried one vertical and the other horizontal on the same side of the tank as coralvue suggested, but i find it works best both horizontally on either side of the tank. im currently trying out pulse mode, but might switch back to alt gyre mode. just trying t find teh best set up to avoid cyano building up on my gravel

![]() alt gyre mode just makes a mess in my opinion....
pulse,,, ,,, I'm going to get the new controller and pulse in one direction,,, with the other one running at minimal,, for a while and then reverse.. Quote:

![]() I have mine on the side, placed horizontally 2.5" from the top of the water line of my 4 foot 150g tall aquarium. I have two Tunze 6105s on the opposite side, a little more than half way down. All are controlled by a Neptune Apex.
