Gyre Flow vs. Traditional Wavemakers

In contrast, the IceCap 2K Gyre Flow Pump excels at generating massive water movement from one end of the tank to the other, ensuring complete circulation. This gyre flow pattern offers significant advantages over traditional propeller pumps:

• No Dead Spots: Ensures even water distribution throughout the aquarium.
• Efficient Circulation: Provides complete water movement and flow.
