Maxspect gyre in a corner?

[salmon alley]

Anyone yet tried a maxspect riptide/gyre pump in a corner tank? Curious to know if it can be used,and if so, how you have it oriented

No information on this? no one has tried it?

Tagging along incase someone has info , I currently have a mp40 and two mp10 I know it's over kill but the mp 40 alone is probably to strong for my tank , have read that the gyre is a little more powerful than the mp40 if that's the case I can only imagine the sandstorm it would cause in the tank . Trying to angle it would be the kicker .

I ordered one to try on my 300DD and I have it in the left corner in the vertical position. All I can say is wow, I really like the way you can program it to run in "forward" and "reverse" at different percentages. As of now I really enjoy it and its quite, we will see over the next few weeks. I might have 4 MP-40's for sale.....

I believe that some people are having problems in reverse mode

Running my Gyre in a 90 tech tank...works fantastic...replaced 2 mp40's. First time it kicked on, it virtually removed all the detritus on the sand bed. I run it on forward/reverse cycles and works great. My over flow is in the mid/back of the tank and no problems with flow being obstructed. Best pump i've ever used. Corals responded right away and love the flow. Well worth the $ spent...especially vs vortech's.

Any before and after pic ?

I have been using it on a 120 gal. My soft corals are really reacting positively to the additional flow. I am only running 40% in reverse and 50% in the forward direction. The controls are good but I wish I were able to control it with my Apex.
