Why wouldn't it be? I'm sure you can add as much as you want assuming you don't have too much flow from it

I plan to add a 3rd in my 100g bare bottom just for the purpose of keeping detritus in the water column and not on the bottom. The other two are on the top of the back wall and work very well.

How loud are these things? Thinking of adding two the the back wall of a redsea reefer XXL750 with 2 mp40's on each end wall.

I really don't notice them. Now Maxspect gyres are a completely different story; I hear those all the time in my other tank.

They're pretty quiet

Getting them configured for the kind of flow you want in your tank , though, is another story.

Seems like they blast everything.

Was curious to revisit this thread and see if those owners still have their red sea gyres from a few years ago still running? How have they held up? Need any replacement parts over the years?

What issues have you run into, if any?

 

[becon776]

Yeah give the long term outlook. I just lost two WAV at the same time. Need to replace.

 

[Goubli]

I still have mine sitting in it’s box unopened. I want to get a report or two before getting it wet.

Maxspect gyre are bad pumps with lots of issues, specially with rotors that are corroding etc..

Any more info on that?

Haven’t had any issues with my 45s coming up on a year

Seems like they’ve even whitelabeled by a lot of companies too
