No prob. I would of like to see them put it on alternating gyre mode in that 29bio cube.
I'm really happy with the xf150's on the 300. Even the corals seem to look better. My sapphire milli lost color with the mp60 beating it up. Now the color is coming back and I'm seeing growth on it and a few other corals too.

I'd say the fx150 is to strong for any tank (with sand) that's under 4'.
When I was beta testing I took the beta to a local shop (called pet world) they put it in there 360* walk around show tank that is 4'X4'X2'. I told the boss to let me control it before he started messing with it. But no he insisted that its in his tank he needs to control it. He started it at full power on constant mode. It dam near knocked every color off the rocks and knocked a few rocks over too. He ripped it out so fast and was all pissed off. I told him to let me do it and I'll show him how it works but by then he was already pissed.

I imagine this xf150 has to be at the lowest settings in this 60gallon tank

Thanks Eric and Marinedepot! It just seems like the 130 will be ok but would like to have more than the 2300 gph it produces. I understand that the Gyre produces a gyre flow which is very different than a stream. I have a mp 10 full blast on pulse mode and a tunze 6045. I diff need more flow. Both of them together produce 2688 gph in the tank. I feel the gyre xf130 might not be enough with the 2300 gph it produces. So was thinking maybe i would need the xf150 and just set it on low and would have the option to also use it in my future upgrade. Hope this makes sense. Sorry for my rambling lol
