Description
Achieve superior, linear water movement in your aquarium with the IceCap 2K Gyre Flow Pump.This pump utilizes powerful cross-flow technology to virtually eliminate "dead spots," ensuring even distribution of nutrients and efficient removal of waste across your entire tank.
Utilizing officially licensed technology by Maxspect, the creators of the original Gyre pump, the IceCap 2K delivers professional-grade flow performance at an affordable price point.
Key Features & Benefits
- Unique Gyre Flow: Generates wide, sheet-like water movement that bounces off the opposite wall, creating full circulation and eliminating stagnant zones.
- Evenly Distributed Flow: Unlike propeller-style pumps that create focused streams, the Gyre provides a broad, linear current for balanced flow.
-
Flexible & Discrete Design: Slim profile allows the pump to be mounted close to the water surface.
- Can be mounted Vertically or Horizontally to suit various tank layouts.
- Waterproof Magnet Mounts secure the pump to the glass or acrylic.
- Nano-Tank Ready: The dual directional flow cage can be converted to a more compact single-propeller setup with an included side cap, making it ideal for smaller or nano aquariums.
- HYDROS Direct Drive Compatible: Can be connected to the HYDROS WaveEngine and WaveEngine LE multi-pump controllers (adapter and WaveEngine sold separately) for advanced control and less clutter.
Included Controller & Flow Modes
The IceCap 2K comes complete with a dedicated controller, offering comprehensive control over your flow patterns:
| Flow Mode | Description |
| Constant Flow | Steady, continuous output. |
| Stream Wave | Creates a smooth, oscillating wave motion. |
| Random | Changes flow intensity randomly for a natural, dynamic reef environment. |
| Pulsing | Creates short, rhythmic bursts of flow. |
| Cycle | Allows programming of alternating flow patterns and schedules. |
Advanced Control Features:
- 20-Minute Feed Mode: Temporarily reduces flow to prevent food from being immediately swept into the overflow.
- Night Mode: Automatically operates at the lowest flow rate when the controller senses low light levels, simulating natural nighttime conditions.
- Controller Lock: Prevents accidental changes to your programmed settings.
