Matthew’s 2ft Mixed Reef Powerhead Pick

For wide and varied flow in smaller spaces, Matthew’s powerhead pick is the IceCap Gyre pumps. They bring powerful, signature Gyre crossflow along with great new features like WiFi controll at a value-oriented price point. Gyre generating pumps excel in moving the sheer flow of water from one side of the aquarium to the other. The flow of water is so strong that it will bounce back from the opposite side to achieve full circulation within an aquarium, i.e., generating “gyre flow.” Compared to other traditional propeller style powerheads, the Gyre produces an even, linear flow that can reach across the tank and back, eliminating deadspots without excessively concentrated jets of current. 

 

Features

• Gyre Flow Virtually Eliminates Dead Spots
• Evenly Distributed, Linear Flow
• Discrete Profile
• Mount Vertically or Horizontally
• Magnetic Mount
• Alternate flow modes
• Customizable flow cycles
• 1 year warranty

 

Dual Gyre Pump WiFi Controller

The Gyre controller offers control of up to two powerheads with one controller and power supply, and is backwards compatible with the 1K and 3K generation of IceCap pumps. With the built in WiFi, you can do away with all of the buttons and dials to fiddle with and access your pumps through the free mobile app for Android or iOS (Apple) devices. CoralVue’s HYDROS platform powers the Dual Gyre Pump WiFi Controller, so you’ll have access to multiple flow patterns that are programmable by time, along with handy modes you can trigger like Feed Mode, Night Mode, or Water Change Mode. The controller also has a 0-10V input, making it compatible with popular aquarium controllers like the Neptune Systems Apex.
