The all-new IceCap Gyre Flow Pump is not only more powerful than its predecessor; they are now WiFi controllable, allowing you to fine-tune your flow effortlessly and wirelessly from your mobile device.
New for 2020 is the addition of the IceCap Dual Gyre Pump WiFi Controller. The new controller utilizes CoralVue’s powerful HYDROS platform to access life-like flow patterns, scheduling, and much more.
The previous generation of IceCap Gyre pumps, the 1K, and the 3K, had external controllers with buttons and a dial to fiddle with to fine-tune flow.
The Icecap 2K is a small, single mount magnet, supporting a very efficient motor consuming a mere 25 watts at 100% flow with a maximum flow of 2000 gallons per hour. A single 2K pump is suitable for tanks up to 90 gallons, and multiple 2K pumps can easily handle more massive systems. The IceCap Gyre pump's magnetic mount holds the pump up to surfaces 1/2in or thinner. For those nano aquariums or hard to get flow areas, this pump is capable of a more compact "single propeller" operation with the included side cap!
The standard Twin Propeller Dimensions of the 2k is 8.8 inches long while the single side propeller measures a merely 6.75 inches making it ideal for those Nano aquariums. If you wish to convert your twin-propeller 2k to a single propeller pump, you remove one of the two propeller cages and propeller assembly and insert the side cap over the exposed shaft.
And for larger aquariums, we have the IceCap Gyre 4K pump that uses the latest in crossflow technology at a reasonable price. It is durable and features a very efficient motor consuming a mere 45 watts at 100% intensity with a maximum flow of 4000 gallons per hour. You heard right, 4000 gallons per hour! A single 4K pump is suitable for tanks up to 150 gallons, and multiple 4K pumps can easily handle larger systems.
Before we get started, let’s make sure that everything is included and nothing is missing from the box.
• Gyre Pump
• Power Supply with cord
• Controller
• Protective sleeves
• Spare set of black propellers
• Single side cap for the 2K model only
• Instruction card
Installing the pump is relatively straightforward, but we must carefully choose the location and orientation of the pump within our tank. We can mount the gyre pump horizontally so water is pushed across or, we can choose to set the pump vertically on the rear glass and push water across the back. Once we have selected the optimal spot, it is time to install the pump. First, ensure that the glass thickness is no more than ½ inch for the 2k and 5/8 for the 4k. Then, using a simple scraper, we must clean the selected area to remove any algae from the surface.
Separate the pump from its magnet bracket and install it in your desired location. These magnets are powerful, so PLEASE be careful not to pinch your fingers or have the magnet slip out of your hands as it may damage the glass or acrylic. Once installed, we may rotate the flow cages clockwise or counterclockwise to adjust the water flow angle and take note of the direction. When mounting the IceCap Gyre vertically, please be sure to rotate the cages so that the water intake is AWAY from the walls of the aquarium.
As a starting point, we recommend mounting the pump horizontally near the water surface on the side of the aquarium. Move it around and pay attention to your corals. THEY will tell you when they are happy. Once installed, it is time to mount the controller. Choose a location that is away from heat, excessive humidity, and NEVER mount the controller over open water.
Affix the controller to a flat surface such as the wall or outside your aquarium stand with double-sided tape or the included screws. Please, be sure that the cable reaches the pump, and the cable connections have proper drip loops to prevent any components from getting wet.
Connect the cable from the controller to the Gyre and then the power supply to the controller. Finally, connect to the power outlet and run the pump for the first time. You're done!
