Info on Gyre pump

[rrspike]

Looking for some info / feedback on a gyre pump . I am looking to purchase one for the long end of a 6' long 180 gallon peninsula tank. Plan is 2 mp40 's & 2 mp10s on the overflow side ( dry sides not visible hidden in cabinet ) and was looking for something with a minimal visual foot print for the viewing end of the tank . Curious to know what you guys / gals think is needed GPH wise, and if a specific unit manufacture is better than others Maxspect/ icecap .

Thanks in advance.

I have two mp40s about 1/3rd down and my return on the mechanical side and one jaebo gyre on the viewing side of my peninsula. Plenty of flow I also had the same setup on a 180 and it worked great. I find no need to buy a expensive gyre jeabo is awesome. The most 40s are only on 50% on reef crest

im running that scp150 on a 6" tank as well at the top. definitely need more pumps than just that

I have the maxspect 350 gyre on my tank and love it. Low profile and moves a ton of water. Hopefully, it's durable as the performance so far has been great.
