Hi all
Been looking/reading/browsing about these pumps. Seem pretty good seeing you get control of the pump output as well via the controller.
Not cheap but after looking at the 12v variable speed pumps and their costs with a controller the Gyre prices seem very reasonable.
Been having a few minor issues with melting and algea which seem to appear when the plant biomass increases, which I think is leading to insufficient turnover which in turn is leading to poor CO2 distrubution.
Plus my complex piping setup which takes 4-6hrs to clean could then be much simplified reducing cleaning time.
The base model XF230 has a 9000l/h max output
Whilst the XF280 has a massive 22,000l/h output
Either would be overkill OFC but the XF230 is only 10inch wide (my tank is 24inch) whilst the XF280 is 14inches wide. So the latter should provide more even flow without backflow at the sides of the pump.
My only concern is will it suck in my neocardina and massurate them
Any thoughts/feedback welcome
