Anyone in the DRC using the Maxspect pumps yet? What is your take on them? How would you compare them to the trusted Ecotech pumps?
I am setting up a 60 gallon rimless cube that is 24x24x24. I hooked up the Gyre 130 that I picked up and am kind of wondering if it is going to be enough flow. Now I am in the process of filling the tank with rodi so I have no sand or rock work yet. Cranking the 130 over 40/50 % it seams to be quite noisy.
In my 75 gallon tank I thought the pump did well but would be best complimented with 1 on both sides of the tank imo. Also the pump was not nearly as noisy in the 75. I can feel the backwall of the cube tank vibrating.
I have a 130fx on my 40 gal. mine is quite, I would check yours and make sure everything is seated correctly and that you have both forward flow blades and cages on.

I did read a bunch of reviews about it. I may switch to the 150 and run it lower.
besides my views how do you like your gyre and what tank do you have it on?
