Maxspec gyre question

[m0nk3y69d]

I just set up a a 75 gallon tank I have 2 hydor korala evo 1150 right now and I want to upgrade I really like the new gyre but I can't decide one the 150 or the 130 I was also considering 2 mp10 but would rather have the gyre what do you think

The 130 would be sufficient

Ok so the 130 would give good water movement on a 4 foot tan and I will be giting more sps corals in the near future

I have a 150 on my 90 and its plenty i run on around 60% at a 6 sec pulse my tank is 24" tall how tall is yours

I am running the 130 on my 55. I love it and I think it would do a good job on a 75.

130 on a 3 ft 70 at about 60%... Lot of flow!

 

[m0nk3y69d]

I believe its 21 tall

I have the 150 on my 75. Love it. Flow is awesome.

Yeah, the 130 would be plenty on a tank that size. I have a 150 on my 40" x 26" tank and its too much. I have to keep it dialed down to 60% or it splashes water out of the tank

130 on my 40B 3' tank. No way can I turn it up past 40% LOL. Loving this pump :)

XF130 is more than enough flow for your tank.
You can ramp it up 100% with the new silencer mount and don't hear a thing.
I have both the 150 and 130 on my 202 gallon setup on the APEX and OH BOY what a flow.

Thanks everyone I just don't want to buy the 130 and not have enough flow lol

Thanks everyone I just don't want to buy the 130 and not have enough flow lol

Not to worry. You will have plenty of flow with the 130. I have the 130 on my 4x2 105 gal tank and the flow is more than I had with 2 mp40s. If you mount a 130 on one side and put one of your koralas on the back to throw a little swirl into the gyre you will be amazed at how much water movement you have. I also own a 150 that I have on a 6' tank and can honestly say that would be overkill for a 4' tank.

I am running the 150 on a 60 gallon at 10%. I decided to go larger, running at a lower speed due to all of the posts complaining about it being loud running at higher speeds. Plus, if I ever upgraded, I would already have the extra power.

 

[m0nk3y69d]

I just upgraded so I won't be upgrading for a long time lol so I think I'm going to go with the 130 and save a little bit of money but keep letting me know what everyone thinks
