I watched a video awhile back of Ryan at BRS watching a demo of the gyre at the Maxspect booth at MACNA. It looks intriguing. The only thing that concerns me is that it appears to form a lateral flow. I personally like a turbid flow, as it tends to keep dead spots from forming in the rocks, and corals seem to respond better. I hate to see soft corals bent in the same direction all the time. They look best when they're flowing side to side with a wave action. I only saw the demo in a long tank with balls rotating in a circular motion, so I can't be sure what type of action there will be in a stocked tank. I hope you'll update us with it's performance in a "real-world" application.
