MAXSPECT GYRE | XF-250 It is now available in the XF250 model aquariums up to 800 gallons and has even more features and an advanced controller for much more control than its previous versions. The Gyre XF-250 does up to 5300 GPH for flow and includes a magnetic mount, controller, spare parts, and much more. Also included is the new Advanced Controller allowing to do multiple pumps, battery backup, feed mode, and many more features or options. The Advanced controller on the XF250 Gyre gives you total control over 1 or 2 pumps and limits the amount of cables and power cords needed. There is also the XF230 model available for aquariums up to 100 gallons.

Weight and dimensions are approximate. NEXT GENERATION OF GYRE WATER MOVING TECHNOLOGY The Maxspect Gyre is the world’s first “gyre”- generating water moving device for aquariums. Compared to traditional powerheads and wavemakers that are based on propeller nozzle flow technology, the Maxspect Gyre is based on advanced crossflow technology which produces massive horizontal water movement leaving little to no dead spots in its wake. New -Crossflow Technology A) Virtually no dead spots B) Evenly distributed flow rate throughout the entire aquarium C) Water bounces back from the other side to create a full circulation, ie. generating “gyre flows” Other Pumps Standard Propeller Nozzle Technology A) Dead spots with relatively poor water movement B) Very strong flow in the center, making coral placement very difficult C) Very weak flow near the other end of the aquarium Why gyre generator and not wavemaker? Wavemakers excel in making waves, while waves are spectacular to watch in motion, they are in fact moving the majority of the water vertically up and down, with relatively low horizontal movement, especially near the bottom of the aquarium. On the other hand, gyre generators excel in moving sheer flow of water from one side of the aquarium to the other. The sheer flow of water is so strong that i would bounce back from the opposite site to achieve full circulation within an aquarium, ie. generating “gyre flows”.
