Hi I have been running two Maxspect xF350 Gyres at opposite ends of the tank. One had a part fail so I used a Gyre 2k on that end. I just purchased two brand new Maxspect Gyre xf300 clouds. I was going to put one on each end. And maybe put the 2k in the middle on the back glass pointing forward. Would this be ok? Is it better to use the xf350s when I get the part or will the 300s be enough. They are smaller. Its a 180 predator tank.

All I can say is try it. You have to play with the flow.

I have 2 gyre and had a really hard time getting a flow i liked so I put them on the back wall pointing straight down. I have 2 other powerheads in the back corners facing straight to the front pane.

I used the Ocean Gyre setting as the 350s work in tandem. I have no corals so it mostly to keep the tank clean and oxygenated.
