So I am looking for a new wave maker / Gyre pump.

I have used Vortech pumps in the past, but I am wondering if there is anything else out there that may be better.

Considering a Maxspect Gyre or something similar
 
I do not recommend Jebao gyres, the work fine mechanically but the controller is garbage.

These are the gyres I use personally and enjoy, the hygger comes in multiple sizes and is very cost-effective.

MaxSpect: https://amzn.to/4idUK82

Hygger: https://amzn.to/3XYSkBV
 
I've been using the icecap gyres for a few years, I used them on their own at first with the controller, then it merged perfectly with the hydros when I got the system. I would recommend them.
