Maxspect Gyre 130 or 150?

[Raed]

I'm setting up a 73 gallon tank ( 47"x20"x21") and debating whether to buy the gyre 130 or 150? I heard that the 130 has an extra piece to prevent the resonating noise. The tank will be mixed reef.
If you recommend the 150, did they come up with a new model that has the extra piece that reduces the resonating noise?

i have a 72gal bowfront and was told that the 130 should be more than enough for my tank....i am also in the market for a gyre (just havent pulled the trigger on it yet)

the 150 definitely being that the tank is 47 inches

Thanks. Does the 150 has the same part that reduces the noise as in the 130?

I got the 130 on a 75 rimless not even half power and its more than enough

150 is too big, 130 will be more than enough, i have a 150 on a clients 180 filled with rock and it does the whole thing only pump on the tank other than the main pump and skimmer pump lol

Definitely 150, if it's too strong you can always turn it down. The 130 might just be cutting it too close- power wise...

A 130 should be more than enough. A 150 covers 6' easily. You'd be using it dialed way down on 4' tank.

I like 150 for future tank upgrade.

 

[Raed]

Ha, I'm now even more confused
Will it be quieter to have the 150 dialed down or the 130 dialed up?

wondering if you ended up pulling the trigger on the gyre? if so, 130 or 150? I've got a 65 gal and I'm getting the same back and forth between the two models haha

I ended up ordering the Neptune WAV, like the fact that they can be mounted to the back of the tank with movable heads and programmable.
