[Mattsaddiction]

I wonder if this one breaks easily compared to others, good price too

 

[Slm222]

What are the 5 different flow modes? Can two be linked?

 

[Mandrew]

Interesting

 

[IronVulture]

Will the ice cap battery backup for the gyre work with this pump

 

[IronVulture]

We need a brstv demo

Sure! This _would_ come out two days after I broke down and ordered an XF250 with controller from you guys!! Not even due to arrive 'til tomorrow, and you taunt me with this!

The flow modes are as follows:

• Constant speed
• Pulsing
• Gradual pulsing mode
• Random mode
• Alternating Gyre mode

One IceCap Gyre can be used per controller, they cannot be linked.

Thanks. Would this work with the icecap gyre interface module to use with my reefangel?

so if I have a 230 and a 2 spot controller (with only one spot being used by the 230) I cant hook this up to it?

Nope.

I'm guessing it won't work with ReefAngel either

Does alternating gyre mode mean it runs forward and backward like how the maxspect 230's run really strong forward and gentle turbulence backwards?

 

[Monkeytank]

Controllable with Apex?

Controllable with Apex?

Unfortunately not

 

[120reefkeeper]

Can they be run with the IceCap Gyre interface module?

 

[Salt Kreep]

Pulled the trigger on this, hope to get it by Monday.

[Salt Kreep]

I'd imagine there's a brand in the works for Europe too.

Nope.

Thank you

If you change the head on one side, you'll get full forward on one side while the other runs turbulence and in reverse the other side runs full reverse with the opposite side being turbulence.
