Maxspect Gyre recomendations

[Scubabum]

For all the Gyre users out there. My tank is a 58 gallon Oceanic RR, the dimensions of the tank are L 36.5 x W 18.5 x H 21 Do you recommend the Gyre 130 or 150 for my size tank.

130, and not just because I have one for sale. The 150 would be way overkill.

130 will be plenty...save your money and buy a coral or two it can blow around.

I have a gyre 150 on a 75gl and can't turn it up over 40% without blowing the sand out from around the rocks.

Thanks everyone. Looks like the 130 it is. Does anyone know if the newest 130 comes with the Rugged propellers?

I have a 130 with the new impellers on my 70G Artisan II. It pushes allot of water and pretty quiet for the amount of flow. If I had to do it over I would go with the 150 and keep it dialed back a little. It's nice to have more flow as your tank has more mature SPS colonies. They really effect the random flow that they like when they get larger.

They do, unless you find one that has been sitting on the shelf at a store for over 6 months. I have to 130's running in my 72 at at 50%, Sorry about the ringtone

Thank you everyone. Just ordered one from BRS

36" you might get away with 1, 60g 48" I feel 1 130 isnt enough flow for a frag tank

I wound up getting a 130. It's working perfect along with one MP10. Only running the Gyre at 60%

Ya it needs a 2nd pump to help even in 36"
