IceCap 2K Gyre Flow Pump with Controller

Transform Aquarium Circulation with the IceCap 2K Gyre Flow Pump with Controller

The IceCap 2K Gyre Flow Pump with Controller from IceCap brings advanced cross-flow technology to reef systems that need consistent, balanced movement. Found under our pumps and flow section, this compact wavemaker replaces chaotic turbulence with smooth, sheet-like flow that covers every corner of the tank. Built on licensed Maxspect Gyre engineering, it delivers natural, ocean-style circulation for aquariums up to 90 gallons—without the noise or bulk.

Smarter Flow, Smaller Footprint: IceCap 2K Gyre Flow Pump Performance

Inside its minimal housing, the IceCap 2K Gyre Flow Pump uses twin rotating cages to produce a wide, even current that prevents debris from settling. You’ll find it under Wavemakers alongside other cross-flow circulation pumps built for efficient reef dynamics.

Key Highlights:

• Cross-Flow Gyre Design: Generates broad, linear movement that eliminates dead zones.

• Flexible Mounting: Install vertically, horizontally, or near the surface for optimal coverage.

• Dual-Color Propellers: Includes both orange and black rotor sets.

• Strong Magnet Mount: Keeps placement secure on glass or acrylic up to ½ inch thick.

• Low-Profile Build: Disappears into rockwork for a clean display.

Control That Adapts to Every Reef Environment

The controller makes dialing in flow simple. With five customizable modes, reef keepers can easily mimic the rhythm of waves and tides while maintaining stable oxygenation.

Flow Presets:

• Constant Mode: Continuous output for steady turnover.

• Stream Wave: Rolling surges that mimic shoreline movement.

• Random Mode: Variable intensity for a realistic ocean pattern.

• Pulsing Mode: Timed bursts that lift detritus and enhance coral extension.

• Cycle Mode: Alternating intervals for balanced distribution.

Additional features include a 20-minute Feed Mode, Night Mode that reduces output when lights dim, and a Controller Lock to prevent accidental setting changes.

Frequently Asked Questions About the IceCap 2K Gyre Flow Pump

Is the IceCap 2K suitable for nano or mid-size tanks?
A: Yes. It performs best in aquariums from 20 to 90 gallons, offering balanced coverage without overpowering corals.

Can it be linked to other controllers?
Absolutely. It’s HYDROS WaveEngine and WaveEngine LE compatible for direct multi-pump integration.

How do I clean the pump without damaging it?
Remove the propeller cages and soak them in a gentle vinegar solution to dissolve buildup—rinse thoroughly before reassembly.

Does it create too much noise at high output?
No. The magnetic rotor and rubber isolation mounts keep operation nearly silent, even at peak flow rates.

Built for Reefers Who Expect Consistency

The IceCap 2K Gyre Flow Pump with Controller offers professional-grade water movement in a compact, affordable package. Its efficient design, intelligent control, and cross-flow power make it the go-to wavemaker for hobbyists and seasoned reef keepers alike—steady, strong, and ready for daily use.
