Great job on the rock scape, you nailed it! I love how the fish can swim in and out, but you also have major real estate for your corals. I just subscribed, you also have the best selection of fish. I hope you feel better.
HI i have the 4k.. its very powerful... i run mine on 10-20...any more and it disturbs the sand bed... 5ft tank...your tank is smaller how do you get on,, what settings
If you buy the reverse propellor for one side of the pump, then the reverse will work as you would like it to. With the stock propellors, it won’t be a true reverse, just turbulent flow moving back into the pump guard.
I have the first maxspect gyre 150 in a red sea 250 and it does makes amazing and strong waves. So this is not about the shape of the flow, but probably about your settings. I set the smallest duration of the wave to make then stronger here.
Good review mate! iv got a xf350 and it does move lots of water but cleaning is a pain and like said the size thing! iv just got 2 more vortech mp40 qd whot dont think can be beat !
Got 2 gyres on same tank cant fault them however they aren't the jump ones. The directors you can get are a massive difference though i saw Mr salty selling them for the jumps maybe something to look at as you can get them near to surface then
@@nathanqwerty1 Nathan, Maxspect replied with "you should be able to, please follow the video and try harder?"... anyway, someone in a group shared a video showing how to do it. You need to use a screwdriver to remove the plastic rotor bushings.
Hello! Would you mind sharing what max intensity you run your 360x at and approx. how high from the water line they are? I'm having trouble with my corals and I think my light is either too intense or too close to the water. Cheers!
hi, i run mine at 8 inches off water line, 13 hour light cycle with 8 hour max intensity ramping either side, run 100% colour on max intensity and 20% colour on the ramp times. do you have the narrow reflectors? they make a massive difference as you get 3x more light intensity from them.
Thanks for a great review. I like you have had them all. But not a gyre. Wanted 2 mo 40s for my new reef but the money is just too hard to spend. I went with jebao slw-20 (Nero knockoff) I really like them, but not enough flow for my needs. I’m torn between the slw-30 and the sdw16.. think I may have to give the 2 sdw16 a go. Feel like it’s the closest to the mp-40 €100.. why not.. 👍 anyway you put me off the gyre and I’m thankful for your opinion.
Good review Nath, loving the Eels.. Not sure if you realised or forgot to mention but you can actually remove one side of the pump and cap it off. Ive got my 2k currently running in a tiny 35l nano with one side capped and at 10% flow
@@Bommie. they dig tunnels in the sand and rock work if your scape is not cemented together or secure they will cave rocks in on other fish and invertebrates and they also will cover your coral
My engineer goby is about 2.5 inches long, how do I get him out he hides in the rock work and is extremely skittish. When I got him I didn’t think of the damage they could do especially now that my tank is full of coral and I cannot move the scape around. Any advice?
Copperband is really happy eating like a pig on everything i put in and is really healthy so reckon he will be fine and do really well, as for too many fish i have to disagree as my nitrates and phosphates are hardly detectable, all fish are really happy and get on with each other very well, such a peaceful reef.
@@nathanqwerty1 yes maybe very peaceful but won't be long till you run into problems things take time is nice tank I won't take that away from you but in my opinion in 20 years of keeping marines it's over stocked but each to there own if this tank looks this good in 6 months time and still has that stock you've done well really its to small also for the regal tang but each to there own buddy 👍
Awesome review and great to see another video so quickly....keep em coming mate.
Great job on the rock scape, you nailed it! I love how the fish can swim in and out, but you also have major real estate for your corals. I just subscribed, you also have the best selection of fish. I hope you feel better.
I took the foam cover off one of my vortechs and it has helped my tank a lot do not be afraid to change how you run pumps.
Been running my 4K for 6 weeks happy with it in my waterbox 100.3
Great video again mate, love your convicts peaceful eels!
Cheers, yeah love them
Are they eels or a Engineer Goby?
HI i have the 4k.. its very powerful... i run mine on 10-20...any more and it disturbs the sand bed... 5ft tank...your tank is smaller how do you get on,, what settings
how is the 4k so far ? I am thinking to get it for my 50 Gallon tank I am not sure if i can set 20% or is it still too strong for it .
How the hell do you run it on 100%. I have two and van only run it on 10 and 20% in a 4 foot tank . If i put in on 0 tp 100 its way to much
If you buy the reverse propellor for one side of the pump, then the reverse will work as you would like it to. With the stock propellors, it won’t be a true reverse, just turbulent flow moving back into the pump guard.
Interesting didn't know that, thanks bud
Hi Nathan what eels are they please they look great
They are convict/engineer gobys, awesome fish
@@nathanqwerty1 Thank you Nathan
Nice little tank I have to say how do u keep your water so clear👍🐠
Hi ,
i had the 2k on my Kallax and i think the current is great 👌 1,5 sec in Wavemode. It's quietly and massively moves water.
Greetings
Pat
You don’t mention about noise level? Red Sea claim there’s are silent.
Yeah forgot a few things in the vid, yes these are silent until they get a little dirty but i suspect the red sea one's will be the same
Nathan Willard good to know, I’m surprised you didn’t get a tunze stream 3, they are supposed to be pretty good.
Yes very nearly did, and still might haha
Nathan Willard I had never seen them but saw Parker’s reef did a review of them and they seem pretty epic
I have the first maxspect gyre 150 in a red sea 250 and it does makes amazing and strong waves. So this is not about the shape of the flow, but probably about your settings. I set the smallest duration of the wave to make then stronger here.
Have you considered mounting it on the back glass instead?
No as would be too much flow at the front and would kick sand up
Muito bom .. qual o tamanho do reef ?
Good review mate! iv got a xf350 and it does move lots of water but cleaning is a pain and like said the size thing! iv just got 2 more vortech mp40 qd whot dont think can be beat !
Can you add battery back up like the ice cap gyre?
What's the name of that eel looking gobie?
Convict/engineer gobys, great characters and peaceful
hi mine is running at 10% but its to powerful so i need to remove it tidy it up and sell it on ebay...
What are them 2 eel type things are they engineer gobies
yep
Got 2 gyres on same tank cant fault them however they aren't the jump ones. The directors you can get are a massive difference though i saw Mr salty selling them for the jumps maybe something to look at as you can get them near to surface then
i realize Im quite randomly asking but do anybody know of a good place to watch newly released series online?
@Colten Harlan I watch on Flixportal. Just google for it :)
@Zahir August thanks, I signed up and it seems like a nice service :) I really appreciate it!
@Colten Harlan glad I could help =)
Nathan, do you know whether the impeller can be removed for cleaning?
Hi, you can take the blades out to clean but you can’t take the impeller out to clean! Absolutely crap pumps, don’t waste your money

Yep tried that, with no joy, you can easily damage it be careful, far to much hassle
Tank looking beautiful!!

Crazy coralline growth, I wish I could grow the stuff! How much of the all for reef are you dosing?
Currently on 75ml per day, i buy the powder and make it myself, sooo much cheaper
Tank looks great
What kind of lights do you have ?
Kessil A360x
Mate how the hell do you remove the outside magnet mines stuck? I cannot reposition it.
Use a credit card to break the seal between magnet and glass. I have the xf330 and was also struggling to move the magnet too.
Good review Nath, loving the Eels.. Not sure if you realised or forgot to mention but you can actually remove one side of the pump and cap it off. Ive got my 2k currently running in a tiny 35l nano with one side capped and at 10% flow
Yes buddy forgot to say amongst few other things, good feature that👍
Thanks for the video. What is the length of cable between the gyre and the control unit? Thanks
sorry bud no idea, think i remember it to be very long
Awesome tank.
Beautiful tank😎👍🏾🔥💯, T Trav Reefs & Aquatics
Good review, fed up of youtubers getting freebies from these companies and not being truly honest about performance and ease of setup etc
Nice review. Have you had the need to clean it yet? I hear they are a bit of a pain.
Not had pump apart yet just the impellers out for a brush, might have a go tomz and will report back
The last 2 jaboa pumps i bought didnt last 3 months,i wont buy another,I hope your health improves.
Going to regret those engineer goby just gave mines away yesterday he was 12 inches long going destroy your tank
Already out bud

My tank is 47 gallons and 10% is too strong even running across the top it waves everything else to much, far to strong..
To many fish in that tank copper band won't last long in there looks over stocked

@@nathanqwerty1 yes maybe very peaceful but won't be long till you run into problems things take time is nice tank I won't take that away from you but in my opinion in 20 years of keeping marines it's over stocked but each to there own if this tank looks this good in 6 months time and still has that stock you've done well really its to small also for the regal tang but each to there own buddy 👍
Also sorry to hear about your health hope all is well and u just got another sub mean no harm was just my opinion
Not to many fish 😂
Your tank looks dirty and dull ... what's happening there?
So go with the 330 instead of the jump series
