New Gyre Models

[jason2459]

The advanced controller is far superior to the gyre/apex interface, in my opinion.

How so? I know it can't do what I'm doing with my apex.

 

[Ricardo@Coralvue]

You are completely correct, here is a great Video of this equipment



and if you just need the Controller get it here

I'm looking forward to the all in one (pump and lights) controller that will interface with the apex.

I guess I mean I don't need to program anything. And I'm not sure you can antisync the pumps. The alternate gyre was also a pain. Also the pre programmed LTC is pretty cool,just set the speed and your good. Less than 30 seconds on any change I want to make. I don't enjoy the getting on my computer or phone to make changes to a pump.

I knew I should have put in my opinion, lol. I just looked, I did put it!

What are you doing with the apex that the new controller can't do?I am genuinely curious.

Relax, I just asked how you believed it to be better. If having predefined programs and ease of use is important then I agree the controllers are probably better. But I can program all of those and then some.

With out typing up a manual again here is what I do with my pair

I am relaxed, thanks. I'm not sure what you mean by that?

You completely make my point of the controller being superior by saying you don't want to type out a whole manual of what you had to do to program them. The controller can do a lot more too, those were just the examples I could think of. If you enjoy writing out all that code then keep doing your thing, I would rather just do a couple of button presses and spend my time cleaning my tank.

That just came off as being snarky.

I don't agree. Which just shows how subjective the word superior is. I'd rather have the ability to have full control over it and do exactly what I want and not something built in. But that's just me and I understand, like I posted above, someone feeling like they would just rather have something that is just easy and have built in options.

I guess I thought this was "snarky". No worries though, happy reefing!

It's just fact. But your opinion is valid even if I don't agree with it.

You are very proud of your tide/lunar cycle thing that you have programmed. Good for you that it is following real time cycles in your fake ocean box. You did good, if I could give you a treat I would.

I will stick with smarter not harder -Lunar Tidal Cycle (LTC): A 24-hr program that mimics ocean currents as they are affected by the moon to create high and low tides.

Now can we stop this bickering and just agree the new Gyre system is awesome?

I am proud of what I was able to do. I love my gyres and have ran them since they first came out. I have always thought the gyres were awesome and even more importantly Coralvue for being their distributor here in the US and supporting them.

You make it hard to stop the bickering with your rude comments.

I currently have an XF130 but will be upgrading tank soon to Red Sea Reefer 450. My question is...

Would it be better to get a new XF230 and run it with the XF130 and new controller or go with ONE XF250?

From what I read the XF250 won't allow the 130 to work with it's controller.

thanks

 

[jazzmik]

Will the 130/230 magnet even work on the Reefer 450? I believe it says to 1/2" so i might have to go 250 no choice?

 

[Ricardo@Coralvue]

If you already have a Gyre 130, I will definitely suggest to get a new Gyre XF 230 with advance controller, you will have tons of flow on your tank, including nigh modes and many other options.
Also you can always buy extra strong magnets for our site

Thanks... how would you recommend mounting 2 units (xf130/xf150)... on the back glass or both sides?

Are the 130 and 230 same flow rates?

Looks like your reinforced magnets are out of stock currently.

thx

I will stay with 2 of the 230/130 combination, they do have the same flow, and try the magnets that come with, you can place them either on the side or the back,all depends how your bio load is set on the tank, Gyres have almost no Dead spots, so it will work either way incredible

 

[daelie]

You have the max flow rates and I can easily find those anywhere, but when the pumps are turned all the way down, what are the minimum flow rates for the 230 and the 250? Like say when they're at 10% or whatever is the lowest setting.

 

[Ricardo@Coralvue]

is just a approximately 1/ 10 of it but also have to do with your rock work, that is the beauty of the advance controller, that give you the ability to use any pattern, and you set the max or min flow, pulsations, time between pulsations, or waves, at the same time set up a night mode, not to mention that you can make the Gyres mimic each other or go completely opposite or just individually program ed base on your live stock

 

[daelie]

Oh ok, so 10% is actually 10% with the gyre, that's great. I just know with something like an mp40 the max is 4500 and the min is 1000 so 10% isn't really 10% lol

 

[gfox]

I would like to get a recommendation of one of the Gyre pumps for my reef tank.I have a DSA 105 rimless that is 48x24x21.I have all LPS and anemones in the tank.Right now i have a Jebao WP 25 with a Mag 18 basement sump for flow.I did try 2 Jebao 25s and that was to much flow.What would you recommend for my tank.Also do you need the controller to run the pump?
