My right side MP40 has a westside that is starting to make some noise. And it is the older style non quiet drive, so if I was going to spend $75 for a wetside, I would have probably just bought a new QD pump and sold the WES driver and dryside.
Anyway, I've been interested in Gyre pumps so I picked up the pair of XF350s and a CoralVue WaveEngine that a member of my local club posted for sale.
I did a quick (crappy) sketch of the rock layout in my 90g below. I have the first Gyre at the top of the tank centered to the right of the overflow box. I was initially thinking of mounting the other pump vertically on the far left side tucked partially behind the rockwork. I did get the pump to fit there once I removed the flow director from the side tucked behind the rock.
Flow overall seems ok with the current setup, corals seem like they are happy enough with he current flow pattern after turning off the MP40a. I'm tempted to move the pump on the right side to the far right side (top of the right side panel) to reduce the visibility in the tank.
