GHill762 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I re read and its a trademark issue... "As we mentioned at the top, the name for this gyre generating device has been changed slightly from when it was introduced. Originally, it was called the RipTide Gyre Generator, but due to trademarking issues, the name was changed to just Gyre. We loved the name RipTide, but certainly won’t be losing any sleep over the change." lol, I read that paragraph but it apparently didn't sink in.. I realized they were changing the name but didn't even catch the trademark bit.. Link to comment
Halo_003 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Price is disappointing IMO. I was expecting something around the same price as Jebao, that was what it seemed to imply to me. I was going to get the nano one for my 20L but might just get a RW-4 now. Link to comment

I was going to get the nano one for my 20L but might just get a RW-4 now. The price is high but keep in mind that price is for the pump for the bigger tanks, the ones for the nano tanks are going to be priced closer to the jebao line. I don't think you will need 4200 gallons per hour flowing through your tank Link to comment

I don't think you will need 4200 gallons per hour flowing through your tank Exactly...an mp40 has a max flow rate of 3200 at a price of $400-465. The largest riptide is $300 for a 4200gph pump, a $100 less. Im not jumping off the band wagon just yet....they still have to release the price for the smaller pumps which looks like will be less than an MP10 and prob more likely that ppl on this site will use.

I believe this was the price for the second largest one, the 35, I believe there will also be a 45. Hopping On the wagon. Link to comment

Valid points, I must have misread and thought I saw nano @ $299. If they can do the nano for around $100 it would be perfect. If it's over $100 though I think I'd be better off spending extra cash on better lighting. Link to comment
LynkUK Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 If they made it Apex compatable it would be very cool. Everybody and his dog seems to want to create an app enabled product. Its going to get to a stage where we will need a dozen apps just to control our tanks lol! At the moment an xmas launch for a nano model is just too far out for me. Link to comment
stevethao Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I really want to like this product. We've seen what it does for huge 5-6 feet tanks. I personally have a 33 long so it's shallow and long. ONE mp10 does a decent job, two would be ideal (which I don't have). But shallow long tanks could really benefit from a product like the "riptide". Now let's see that nano riptide video!

Egginis Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I'm certainly going to get one for my 220 gallon reef. I am going to place it on the middle back of the aquarium and see how it works. Love trying new products and this looks and seems like it is going to be very beneficial. Link to comment
GlassHouse Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 There will be three: 25W, 35W and 45W from what I was told today. MP10 uses 8-18 watts. This newer product is less energy efficient? News about the pricing and development delay for the nano is disappointing to say the least. Link to comment

CoralVue Aquarium Products Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 Chis, just left you a voice mail. Sorry, I was traveling over the weekend. Please call me today! 985-718-1465 Link to comment
JLynn Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Another angle to the pricing controversy here is that for most tanks, you would not just be getting ONE MP10/MP40/Jebao powerhead, but rather 2 or more. Judging by those videos, you probably won't need to have more than one Gyre unit in the tank, and therefore the Gyre is even cheaper in practice than in theory. One thing is sure: if the Gyre lives up to its promise, it'll be a game-changer, just like LEDs were for the lighting industry. Though, I definitely have to second the call for a video of it in action in a nano tank! Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 So, MACNA was a thing. Anything interesting happen there? Link to comment
bdevillier19 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Ben I know what you mean. lol. All the hype of macna and no reports back? I do know someone who got to play with the riptide and he said it was pretty awesome and he will for sure end up with a few. And this is coming from a guy with 7 mp10 and 2-3 mp40. Link to comment

Archaic37 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 R2R people said the small model will come out in November/Dec and the larger one after the first of the new year. Other than that no new info or controller info Link to comment
gus6464 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I am guessing the 35W which is $299 is for 100+ gallon tanks? Will there be one for nanos in the 20-50g range? Link to comment
kzv20 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Just saw a video from macna 2014 on youtube and they said there's 3 sizes. Smallest is the 35w then goes to 50w, and 75w largest. The 50w is under $300 and moves about 5000gph and its in black. Can't figure out how to get the video on here but it's on coralvue youtube page if anyone wants to put it on here. I'm excited for this product and can't wait! Link to comment
