Gotta love it... originally AC pumps were too loud and DC pumps were super quiet in comparison, now we have "sine wave" technology... kind of like how AC works, and it's even quieter?

[@meiersreefs188]

So for a 10’ x 3’ tank would you recommend the dual 350 pumps or go with Dual 280 old style?

[@meiersreefs188]

BulkReefSupplyCom Yes I am also running 2 mp40 I have and also have two multi swirls that I am using on my return pump side of things

[@paulm0573]

Which maxspect gyre model would you recommend for a 6’ x 20” x 2’ high reef tank? Would I need one on each end or is there one that is powerful enough to create a circular flow?

[@BRStv]

We're running two of the XF350 gyres (one on each end) on our BRS160, which has very similar dimensions to your tank.

[@coralcreationsusa366]

Every 3db increase or decrease is twice as loud or quiet to your ear.

Which maxspect gyre model would you recommend for a 6’ x 20” x 2’ high 550L with sump reef tank? Would I need one on each end or is there one that is powerful enough to create a circular flow?

@@BRStv thanks! How are they positioned? Do you have a link of a video to see them working?

[@jestronixhanderson9898]

But did you see the lights on that wave engine !

[@mattguess628]

Can you use the new pumps on the old XF controller?

[@BRStv]

No unfortunately the old controllers will only control the older model pumps!

[@abdiasj8726]

Do you have to have the controller? Or will it work with out it?

[@BRStv]

The controller is required for this pump to operate.

[@ClickClacksRcs]

Question? now is what pump is the Quietest ?

[@ClickClacksRcs]

Probably get lots of views

[@ChristopherSmith-ek1wr]

Should I run one or two on a 75 gallon fish only tank?

[@BRStv]

In a fish only tank, one Gyre pump should be plenty to get the water moving and avoid most flow dead spots, depending on your aquascape.

[@ChristopherSmith-ek1wr]

@@BRStv Thanks.

[@pedrovfg]

Why this pump has so many bad reviews??

[@um02122]

First to like.

[@greetingsearthlingspluto6666]

Vortec are better

[@daanvandongen1422]

that's a little agressive don't you think? they're very different devices with different advantages

[@pedrovfg]

How better? Im looking one for a 2 meter long tank .

[@Johnnyalexwales]

THIS FAKE FACT VIDEO JUST COST ME £500. YOU CANNOT RUN THE 330 AND 350 ON THE SAME CONTROLLER, NOR IS IT A SINGLE POWER CABLE TO RUN TWO PUMPS. BRS YOU HAVE JUST COST ME £500!!!!!!
