The 3K Gyre Generation pump from IceCap uses the same technology and water movement theory as the Maxspect Gyre but at a much better value. The 3K Gyre pump pushes a "sheet" of water across your tank virtually eliminating any dead spots with minimal amounts of flow. Compared to other traditional propeller style powerheads, the Gyre produces an even, linear flow that doesn't create any direct hot spots or dead spots.

 

The Gyre controller gives you 5 different modes of flow throughout a 24-hour programming cycle that you can tailor to your tanks needs, including a pre-set 10-minute feed mode. Included is a mounting bracket for the controller that secures the head unit anywhere you desire. The low profile of the 3K Gyre pump allows it to fit in tight spaces, and the magnetic mounting system makes installation a snap.

Product Questions

Is there anyway that I can make this work on my Red Sea reefer 750? Glass is 3/4 inch.
Question by: Lars Andersson on Jul 2, 2019, 9:57 AM
Hey There, Good question. The maximum glass thickness these pumps can hold on is 1/2" so I would not recommend these on a tank with 3/4" thickness as it is very unlikely to hold :/ Instead I would take a look at the Maxspect Gyre XF350 as this pump is very comparable and can handle a tank up to 3/4" Happy reefing!

What is the low end of flow for the ice cap 3k. I have 1/2 glass but was wondering it I could turn it low enough for my tank

My Icecap is making a humming noise, not sure how to correct it, have taken off and rinsed and turned on and off a few times.

Appreciate your help.
Question by: Kelly Ferguson on Jan 23, 2018, 11:29 AM
You will want to make sure that it does not have any air trapped in it. Sometimes just rotating the orientation of the pump can release any trapped air, but also make sure that it is assembled correctly. The IceCap pumps are not 100% silent, and depending on other ambient noise may not be the ideal pump for some aquarium locations.

Hi I have a 56 gallon reef tank and seems like I'm having some flow issues. Would you recommend this to help? I currently have the return and two power heads 660 gph. seems like it isn't covering the whole tank right. Any suggestions? Thanks bulk reef supply!
Question by: Charles J Holminski on Sep 12, 2017, 6:36 PM
Hi Charles,
Flow in a reef tank can vary greatly, and the amount of flow your tank may need is very hard to comment on, but if you have significant dead spots a high flow power head will definitely take care of that issue, but sometimes you can minimize the dead spots by changing the position of the power heads or the aquascape. The IceCap 3K can push a lot of water, and with that pump, you may be able to remove one of your current powerheads.
Answer by: Charlie on Sep 13, 2017, 1:32 PM
Can you confirm that these can only be used individually, so unlike the Gyre you cannot connect two together to the same controller that they come with correct?
Question by: Ken Meisch on Feb 9, 2017, 12:21 PM
Hey There,
That is correct, each controller will control one pump. Multiple pumps would require multiple controllers.

Can the IceCap controller be hooked up to the Neptune Apex controller?
Question by: Jim on Feb 9, 2017, 11:06 AM
Hey Jim,
This pump is not Apex compatible at this time.
Answer by: Jason Smith on Feb 9, 2017, 1:23 PM
How many watts?
Question by: Joe Mama on Feb 9, 2017, 10:59 AM
Hey Joe,
This pump is rated at anywhere from 8w-40w depending on the speed setting.
Answer by: Jason Smith on Feb 9, 2017, 12:42 PM
Does this connect directly into my Apex? Or can I use my current icecap 150 module to connect?
Question by: Thomas on Feb 9, 2017, 10:47 AM
Hey there! This pump is not Apex compatible at this time. :-)
