IceCap 2K Gyre Flow Pump With WaveEngine LE - CoralVue

The IceCap 2K Gyre Flow Pump uses officially licensed Maxspect Gyre technology to generate the characteristic cross-tank linear flow that virtually eliminates dead spots without the turbulence of a traditional powerhead. Paired here with the WaveEngine LE controller and CoralVue's HYDROS platform, the system replaces manual dial adjustments with WiFi control—flow rate, pulse mode, feeding pauses, and scheduling are all configurable from a phone.

At full output the pump moves 2,000 gallons per hour; at its minimum it steps down to 739 GPH, giving meaningful range across tank sizes from a 20-gallon nano to a 90-plus-gallon mixed reef. Power draw scales with speed from 8 to 25 watts, keeping operating costs modest relative to flow output. The twin directional flow cages allow the gyre to run in either direction, and two sets of propellers—orange and black—are included so you can tune the flow characteristic to your specific livestock and aquascape.

The housing is low-profile at 8.78" × 2.83" × 1.5" and can be positioned vertically or horizontally, including near the water surface where many competing pumps struggle. Waterproof magnetic mounts handle glass or acrylic up to half an inch thick and require no drilling or suction cups. The six-foot cable provides adequate reach for most sump-adjacent controller placement.

For hobbyists already running or planning a HYDROS ecosystem, the Direct Drive compatibility with the WaveEngine LE means this pump integrates directly into multi-pump flow programming rather than running as a standalone unit. If your tank demands more flow or choreographed gyre patterns across multiple pumps, the WaveEngine LE handles that coordination natively. New buyers without existing HYDROS hardware will find everything needed for WiFi-controlled operation in this bundle.
