How far across? The instructions come with a warning. It could blow your seams apart...lol I think you would need the 35w at the lowest setting, unless you have a wide front to back tank. The water might even flow out over the rim. Running it deep might help also.

Only 18" lol darn it. It won't work for me then, I only have 9" on the sides of my tank bc of the overflows, unless I set it up vertically but I don't think many people have done that.

Well after running the Gyre in the horizontal position for 4 days at 60-70% I noticed the mid water doesn't get as much movement as two wp=40s. Even when I crank it up to 100% I get great top and bottom movement but not great mid water.

So today I fired up my idle wp-40 opposite of the gyre, (running at 60%) and a bunch of detritus has kicked up. On a 6 ft tank it seems I will need some additional flow to cover mid depth.

I will try adjusting the grate to push water more downward to see if it helps.

I was just able to use a demo from Krista and this thing is awesome. I know what u mean in the middle but from only testing it for 15mins it didn't seem that bad. I had it mounted vertically next to my corner overflow and it definitely hit all corners of the tank. Definitely buying one for my build
