Product Overview

Next Generation of 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 deadspots 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 Flow 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".

About The Manufacturer
Maxspect is an aquarium equipment company founded in 2009. A group of reef-keeping friends, tired of old-fashioned reef lighting set out to bring modern LED technology to the aquarium scene. They designed and built an LED aquarium light to prove the technology could support coral growth. Today Maxspect is a world leader in slim LED reef lighting fixtures. Maxspects’s mounting systems are simple and adaptable to any aquarium. The company is best-known for their gyre water movement pumps that simulate tide and wave patterns like those on natural tropical reefs. Gyre water flow ensures all of the water in your aquarium is circulating from top to bottom with no dead spots. The Maxspect gyre pumps use magnetic mounts for easy installation. The water flow pattern is set and managed by an advanced external controller.
