Can the external magnet be submerge into the tank as well? Due to the way my tank is setup, I can oni mount it near my overflow if I intend to get 1. I use to have this sure grip magnet for wave maker and after prolong usage, the magnet that is attached to the wave maker crack open and bum rusty. :(

Can anyone advice whether I can connect the Maxspect Gyre XF130 on a timer say 11pm to 6am, to save electricity.

Is it okay for the corals (mainly zoas and softies)?

You can but it might shorten the life span of the pump itself

My gyre XF150 was on a timer set to run at 7am-7pm dated 27 Dec 2014..mode is gyre alternating 70% 100% 5min interval..shall see how long it can last (1year warranty) :)

With or without alternate mode does not make any difference... The design of the propeller is not design to blow in reverse!! :(

The alternating reverse mode is for my fishes to take a break n catch some breather..haha..

My forward mode is to have strong current to stir up particles on my tank bottom :)

Hi fellow Gyre users, want to check with your do your encounter the same problem i had with the Gyres I am using...

1st unit after running 2 weeks then realize there's a crack in the wire seal and the electrical wires inside were exposed..

brought back to exchange a new unit but after running for another 2 to 3 weeks start to see the seal cracking again...

Am using 130 and the wire looks much thinner. Does not have the cracking issue, yet. fingers crossed. Noticed that the label on the magnet at the dry side is different too.

Edited. Saw the label as 150.

150 bigger so magnet oso bigger thus the diff..

Anyway, for the cable, maybe 130 lower power thus thinner..or maybe newer thus improved material for the cable..:)

Other than the crack wire, any other bros

have problem with gyre. It seems that

a quite a large number have been sold according

to de aquatic.

I have considering whether to get 2 nos of rw15

or 1 nos of gyre for my new 6 foot setup

I planning to get a 150 model in Aug but now see all the review abit worried.

So far the neg review shd b only the wire outer insulation problem n only a few unlucky sets (I m one of them :(..)..I believe there r many happy users as its flow is indeed excellent..u shd watch the YouTube video of 2 x mp40 vs gyre xf150..:)
