good morning
 
I have the 130 on my 105 and it provides plenty of flow. IMO, the 150 might be too much.
I was kind of thinking the same. I read a couple of other places to get the 150 and dial it down to low. that did not make since. Thank you for your reply
 
Got my second maxspect gyre.
 
I am running the two in the pulse mode and trying to time them that they are alternating. one is at 50% and the other is at 30% I have good water flo and my palm tree coral seem to be happy with this setup. I was running one and even though they say moderate for heavy flow for the palm tree, the coral was not happy .

Just messing with the cleaning of the tank, drop the water level a bit and discovered that by dropping the water level I get the agitation I am looking for with the water at the top.

I love mine. Its only turned up 1/3 on 110. But i also have a tunze wavebox and a tunze 6055 on the other end.

thank you for the advice, I have a hydro controller but pulled it out. I am waiting for the reason that Maxspect is rummered to be coming out with a new controller for the Gyer or I am going to go back to the Hydro.
