Six2seven's gyre review!!!
- Thread starter Six2seven
- Start date
In the video there was an sps large frag/mini colony that was holding on for dear life....hope it didnt break off.
What will be interesting also is what g-tank mentioned, bubbles. Almost every single video or picture I have seen with the gyre has bubbles created. So many of us go to some extreme lengths to keep micro bubbles out of our displays so I wonder how many reefers will go another direction due to that concern in mind. Just something else to discuss, is all.

Well the pump can pump in one direction "forward" and then it can spin in the reverse direction "reverse".
For me, I'm still a little confused because I don't know which was the pump is supposed to face. Once installed you have to twist the heads so that it faces the correct way.
This is what took me the longest to set up because you have to play with it so that it can face the way you want it without creating too much surface agitation or too much flow downward.

Oh and in reverse mode for me it's quieter. I'm assuming from the fins that forward is clockwise which is what it shows in the videos. In the videos the pump sucks from behind and pushes out forward over the top which means clockwise is forward.
The symbol for forward is "counterclockwise" and the symbol for reverse is "clockwise"

Haha chopped up that mini colony for rap and now it's a big nub. I moved it there but don't know what I will do to it.
Now don't get me wrong. Everyone reading as well as yourself should not be discouraged by the bubbles. I had it on incorrectly. I have fixed it and the thing is amazing at not bringing bubbles into the tank. The way it's designed I love that it does not create bubbles being so close to the surface. I'll post another video when I get a chance. I didn't get to post a real video as I took a long time trying to get it right and I didn't like the other videos I made

Overall so far I am loving it. Woke up the morning and it's not as loud as I thought. Maybe the erie silence of 1am made it seem loud but nothing I can't get used to. It seemed to have quieted down but it's not silent at all
The controller is nice but confusing at first. It looks like there is a power button in the middle that is not a button and does nothing. I don't like that you can't see the controller at night. Black on black. But I do like the controller, it's cool.

who is baller enough to:
1. put 1 gyre on the side of the tank plus 1-2 on the back of the tank & alternate flow from side-side vs front-back
2. let gyre flow meet at 90' angles
3.ditch all other power heads
Make me a believer!!! Because at $300 each, seems way too inexpensive (compared to $400-600 vortex & tunze pumps). If this is wrong, i dont wanna be right!
