Glamorca Gyre Question...

[ocncheffy]

So I recently installed my Glamorca Gyre horizontally in my Red Sea Reefer 350, and I can't seem to get the tank to clear up from ditritus/sand that it wants to throw around... It's been about a week and the water column still looks dirty from installing the new pump.

My setting is a 4 second pulse of 10% to 50%. I've played with almost all the modes and I still can't seem to prevent this from moving stuff around. My old set of Jebao pumps ran fairly intense but the water column was crystal clear.

Thanks,

Try backing down the top speed to %40

I did back it off, all the way down to 20%, but I still see stuff blowing around the tank. Almost makes me want to get rid of the Gyre as I never had this issue with a standard powerhead.

Can you take a picture so that we can see please :)

I wouldn't worry about it right now. When I installed my gyre it did the same thing. I just put a filter sock on the tank, and waited it will clear up. Keeping stuff from settling on the bottom is a good thing especially when it comes to food, and fish poop.
