XF250 Gyre Pump with Controller (5300 GPH)

Compatible with aquariums up to 3/4″Max Flow 5300 GPHThe new family of Gyre pumps now come with an advanced controller that unleashes a whole new world of options. With the ability to connect up to multiple pumps for a sync or anti-sync relationship, customizable flow cycles, and much more! The Gyres crossflow technology allows for an evenly distributed flow that helps remove dead spots in the tank.With the unique flow patterns of the Gyre pumps, you do not have to worry nearly as much about positioning and aquascaping design. The Gyres crossflow technology allows for a gentle, evenly distributed flow that considerably helps removes dead spots in the tank making them perfect for frag tanks, and shallow lagoon-style aquariums.Recommended for aquariums up to 800+ gallonsControls up to 2 individual Gyre pumpsSuper-Silent magnetic mountingLonger, more durable cable5 Different modes of flowCustomizable flow cycles6 Adjustable flow variablesLinear flowIn most cases when choosing a powerhead, you will look into a bulky and intrusive propeller style powerhead that leaves dead spots in corners and makes you limited in coral placement due to the sheer force of the flow they need to produce. The Gyre pumps use crossflow technology to help evenly distribute the current throughout the tank without creating a single concentrated point of flow. Since the sheet of water that it produces makes a “gyre” flow pattern that is very efficient and gentle giving you more coral placement and aquascaping options. The design of the Gyre body and silent suspension mounting system keeps the entire package very low profile and super quiet.The new Advanced Gyre Controller now lets you couple up to two Gyre pumps together off a single power supply. By connecting two pumps, they can run in sync, anti-sync, or a couple of other modes giving you more control over the output. It now also lets you set a full 24-hour flow cycle without the need to connect to a third party controller.If you choose not to set your own custom flow cycle, Maxspect also expertly programmed a couple of 24-hour cycles, like Lunar Tidal Cycle (LTC) or the Oceanic Gyre Cycle (OGC). On top of all of that Maxspect added new flow patterns too, like Random and Gradual Pulsing mode in addition to the traditional Constant, Pulse, and Alternating Gyre modes.Gyre XF250 Specifications:Dimension- 11.8″ L x 2.9″ W x 2.4″ HWeight- 1.9 lbsFlow Rate- up to 5300 GPHPower Consumption- 8w – 60wMin Aquarium Volume- 50 GallonsMax Aquarium Volume- 800+ Gallons*Cable Length- 10 ft (controller to pump) 5 ft (power supply to controller)Power Supply Specifications:Model- GM85-240400-FInput Voltage- 100/240vAC 50/60HzOutput Voltage- 24vDC 4AWeight- 0.7 lbsWhat’s Included1x XF250 Gyre pump1x Magnetic mount1x Advanced Controller1x Controller mount1x Power supply1x Set of spare rotors1x Set of directional cages1x Set of snail screensMaxspect Controller/Pump Compatibility ChartNameXF-230 ControllerXF-250 ControllerXF-280 ControllerXF-130 Gyre PumpYesNoNoXF-230 Gyre PumpYesNoNoXF-150 Gyre PumpNoYesNoXF-250 Gyre PumpNoYesNoXF-180 Gyre PumpNoNoYesXF-280 Gyre PumpNoNoYes*Maximum aquarium volume may require multiple Gyre pumps to create desired flow rate. In most cases, it is best to install multiple smaller powerheads over a single larger to create flow in various directions and patterns.
