Review: Great product for over a year running now - Works as promoted. Simple connectivity and been running for over a year without a hitch
Review: Better than MP40 - This is a great buy. I had a 1k gyre on a smaller tank (6ft 125) and really liked it, even though it was a little loud. Got this pump for an upgrade to a 210. I have this on one wall and an ecotech MP40 on the other side. It’s super quiet and gives great flow along the top of the tank. Between the two pumps I rely on the icecap for the bulk of the flow. It’s almost too strong for zoas and other lps. The control through the app is head and shoulders better than ecotech’s option. All and all, great value, great pump!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product for over a year running now

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than MP40
*by M***L on August 20, 2020*

This is a great buy. I had a 1k gyre on a smaller tank (6ft 125) and really liked it, even though it was a little loud. Got this pump for an upgrade to a 210. I have this on one wall and an ecotech MP40 on the other side. It’s super quiet and gives great flow along the top of the tank. Between the two pumps I rely on the icecap for the bulk of the flow. It’s almost too strong for zoas and other lps. The control through the app is head and shoulders better than ecotech’s option. All and all, great value, great pump!

### ⭐ Horrible WiFi connection.. HYDROS App is poorly written.
*by B***1 on June 10, 2020*

I really wanted to like the Gyre, but after spending a day trying to get it connected to my WiFi i decided to send it back. First, I have a mesh WiFi system (Orbi) that floods my house with signal. My Apex and Dosing pump (wifi) never have an issue. The IceCap 4k would connect for 5 minutes then drop off, never to connect again. I would power cycle the pump and it would connect, then minutes later the connection light would be blinking. The Hydros app only shows the 'pumps' when you are using the 'cloud/wifi' setting. You can switch over to Bluetooth and connect to the controller but you can't configure the pumps (only basic controller settings like its name). If you are lucky enough to get it connected to WiFi the setup is confusing and not very logical. (no manual, just a QR code that takes you to their webpage... a few of the 'how-to' links give you 404 errors). Hopefully, they can fix the WiFi issue and improve the app. I love the idea of using one controller for 2 pumps. PS. I returned the unit and purchased a different brand of WiFi Gyri. It latched onto my network and hasn't had any connection issues.
