Hey gang,
I have a Red Sea 650 Peninsula tank, I have the VCA random flow on the return (being pushed by a COR 20 @ 95% because anything over 95% creates a siphon on the nozzle, even with the drop offset installed), and at the far end of the tank I have two MP40s cranked all the way up but running various modes throughout the day. I still seem to be getting some dead spots on the overflow end in the corners, and lower down on each side of the rockwork.
I'd love to put some other small pumps on the overflow end, but the problem I have is that when I installed the tank I put it close to the wall not thinking too hard about things, so I only have about an inch between the glass and the drywall, meaning I can't fit the magnet mounts for any of the larger pumps. The glass on the long sides is 3/4 but I believe the ends are only 1/2".
MP10's are only rated for 3/8" glass but the dry side is > 1" thick either way so it won't fit. I've looked at a couple MaxSpect Gyre pumps which appear like the dry side will fit but I've heard mixed reviews on them.
Does anybody have any suggestions (or different positive opinions on the MaxSpect Gyre)? Thanks!
