What size Gyre to get??

I have a 58 gallon aquarium 36x18x21. For all the Gyre owners out there, should I get the 130 or the 150?

if you think there's a chance you will get larger tank some day and can afford it I would get 150 but 130 is plenty for that tank

Yeah I was thinking of getting the 150. Do you think it will be too strong for my tank? I'm thinking I would have to run it at the 1st or 2nd setting. My tank is mainly softies and LPS

yeah that's a good point. The 130 will likely have to be way down as well depending on scape, sandbed etc. Anyone out there with tank this size?

looks like there are some 130's for sale on here. I can tell you that you will love them :)

I currently have two Mp10's but have a few dead spots. I'm running them on opposite ends of the tank on anti-sync in Reefcrest mode, just above 50%. From the videos I've seen the Gyre looks really good. Have read a bit of them breaking, but if I'm not mistaken they got this sorted with new impellers. I was thinking of moving my Mp10's to the back of the tank instead of opposite walls to see if my flow improves. Thoughts and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
