Maxspect Gyre XF350

“I run 350,’s in my 180 tank and 330 in my 120 mixed reef. Only thing I have done is clean them but rarely. Maybe twice in the past year. Probably due now. No problems at all.”

“Default min on xf350 os 25%. Won't run there. Get pump error notification. Have to have it all the way to 40% to not get error. With maxspect controller I van get it down to 10%.”

“I have had two 350 in the tank for 2 months. one just failed, looks like the motor bushing has worn and the magnet is hitting the motor block. Fails to start and when it does vibrates badly.”

“on my brand new XF350s, I can barely feel any flow at 25%. It certainly isn't enough to impede the creation of gyre flow from the XF350 on the opposite side of my 48" tank.”

“I am running 4 xf350's on a 12' 3/4 inch glass display. Currently I have them vertical in each corner, but I have never had an issue with them holding in either horizontal or vertical.”

“I had the maxspect gyre xf350s on my 220Gallon, What garbage. When it worked it worked for a week and then you need to break them down and clean them. It gets OLD fast.”

“I have 2 of the 350's the covers prevent much of the algae/corraline - suggesting it will need less cleaning. They seem more powerful - and quieter. No problems here.”

“Almost a year with a set of 350s, no issues so far but they do lose A LOT of flow if you don’t clean them often, I’d say even more than 30% loss. I do a deep clean every 2 or 3 months max.”

“I purchased 5 of these pumps (with three separate controllers). Every single pump has had issues with clogging (sometimes within days of being given an acid bath)”

“350 owner for 3mos. & pleased with performance. One thing I’ve noticed is that the performance drops off significantly if not cleaned regularly.”

“Two XF350 since launch. They are awful. They lose flow often, and they have just stopped working completely three times with no warning and no error notification”

“i just installed 2 gyre 350s on opposing sides in horizontal configurations. first off, alot of people are concerned with sound, these things are whisper quiet, infact, i dare say quieter than the vortechs”

“I like them for shallow frag tanks. I've replaced them all with the cloud version now. I like that the guard to keep air being sucked in dosen't fall off easily, also being able to adjust flow if 4 sections.”

“Let me just offer that I have a Gyre and I hate it. The flow is too linear and all of my acropora grow in that direction if I turn it up too much. They move a lot of water, but are just too static for me.”

“I bought them 2 weeks ago and wasn't super impressed with them. I had the 200 series previously and found the build to be more solid.”

“I am running 2 XF350s on opposite ends of a 6 ft 180 gallon tank and they are really powerful. At 75% the fish are literally being blown around.”

“I wanted to try something new…my MP40’s weren’t going to work on my tank so I went with XF350’s. I’m regretting it. Should have went with MP60’s.”

“One side works fine, the other side keeps slipping off. After contacting coralvue customer support, they told me that I am "reaching the limits of glass thickness" and that the gyres arent made for 3/4 inch glass. I informed them that the advertisement says otherwise.”

“Threw mine in the trash ,,, done ,,”

“I been running an used pair of XF350 and agree with all pros and cons.”

“I’m running two xf350’s on my 525xl. They are holding perfectly, so good it’s a pain in the rear to get the magnet off to move them lol...”

“I have a maxspect 350. I have had it for 1yr+ so maybe not long enough to give you a true reliability opinion but I have had so far absolutely 0 issues. It is extremely easy to clean and the amount of water this thing moves is unbelievable.”

“I love mine, but they are maintenance hogs.”

“I had the original 350s running forever without having to replace any parts, though I didn't clean them much either.”
