Josh&Sarah February 10, 2021 Share February 10, 2021 Well, my Maxpect Gyre 330s are rusting in my tank. The magnet casing split. What route should I go? I have SPS high and lots of Torches etc... low in my mixed reef. I hate the look of MP40s but maybe that’s what I should do. Please chime in. I have a 4x2 tank and need 2 pumps with alternating flow. Mounting on back wall isn’t possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khalid February 10, 2021 Share February 10, 2021 I have AI Nero 5’s on my peninsula and they have been great for the past 2 years. Love them so much I bought some for the new tank I set up too. They have have been headache free and super quiet unlike any of the vortechs I have owned. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh&Sarah February 10, 2021 Author Share February 10, 2021 Nice. What size is your tank? Anyone else have opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khalid February 10, 2021 Share February 10, 2021 The peninsula is a Red Sea 650 and the new tank is a waterbox 220.6Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apcoleman February 10, 2021 Share February 10, 2021 I think its hard to go wrong with the vortechs. They put out a ton of flow and all of mine have lasted a good while. The ability to control them is great and I think their support/customer service is great of you ever need them. My current setup has a mp60 at each end.

lowsingle February 10, 2021 Share February 10, 2021 I have had every type of power head over the last 20 years of reefing in a variety of sized tanks and all have different nuances that make them useful, but overall I think Tunze wave makers have the best longevity, cost value and performance. That said , all can work for you...... Darren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh&Sarah February 10, 2021 Author Share February 10, 2021 MP 40s are just so darn ugly. Like, I’ve worked so hard on my tank how it is to have wires running down the outside of the glass into some round growths sticking out the side makes my stomach turn.

flooddc February 10, 2021 Share February 10, 2021 Have you look into Ai nero or jebao slw? Nero has issue with the back cage that sucked fish in and killed or injured the fish. The jebao slw is the copy but has better back cage. I believed new Nero come with the protection cage. I am using a slw-20 in the last 6 months and so far so good.

Josh&Sarah February 10, 2021 Author Share February 10, 2021 I went with reefwave. I like gyre style too much to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamin_reefer February 12, 2021 Share February 12, 2021 Did you go with the 25 or the 45? I have 2 of the ReefWave 45's in a reefer 450 and am impressed so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh&Sarah February 12, 2021 Author Share February 12, 2021 I did 2 25s... that was the recommendation I got. We will see. I don’t run super high flow. Should be enough. I’m excited to see how it is. Are you using app or just random on each controller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamin_reefer February 14, 2021 Share February 14, 2021 I am using the app, but probably not to its full potential. I'm running a random, both forward and backwards, with a higher max during the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
