Infinite0180 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Came here for an opinion on flow. Im setting up a new red sea reefer nano! I own a gyre 1k in my nuvo fusion and originally planned on using it in the reefer. Im not soo sure i want to anymore. I think either an mp10 or two of those aqamai kps pumps is the better option. Help me out! option 1 - keep the gyre (mounted vertically on side of tank) option 2 - 1 mp10qd (mounted on side of tank) option 3 - 2 aqamai kps (mounted on back wall) i want to be able to keep sps! I would love to hear people experience and with these options! Quote Link to comment
Clown79 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 How many gallons are you planning on? I don't know a lot about the gyre but the mp10 is definitely a favoured wave maker. I have a kps. It's nice but its deceiving. The flow is very gentle to the eye. Unlike most wavemaker it's not very forceful flow. I have 1 in my 25g with a mighty jet return, I have to run mine at 75% or my euphyllia close up. My sps are super happy with the kps running between 75-100% Quote Link to comment

The nano is 21 gal display with 7 gal sump. So 28 total minus water from rock displacement. I will be going bare bottom for now and the tank is an 18x18x18 cube. I think im going to just get the vortech but part of me really thinks having two pumps is better than one. I just dont want to regret anyrhing this time around. Im already redoing everything because i skimped out the first time... Quote Link to comment
WhatsReef Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I just got an MP10. I haven't messed with the modes yet but I can already tell it's awesome. Quote Link to comment
Infinite0180 Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 Sounds like the mp10 is the better move huh? Quote Link to comment
Tamberav Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I like my MP10's better than my gyre for nano's at least. If I could run one on the back wall I would but that is where my AIO is.. Quote Link to comment
