IceCap Gyre 4K Standalone Flow Pump Only
The IceCap Gyre 4K Standalone Pump Only block (SKU: IC-GY4KP) is an authentic,
large-format water movement component distributed by CoralVue to provide high-volume linear
circulation in expansive marine reefs and large freshwater displays from 50 to over 150
gallons. Standard traditional powerheads throw a narrow, cone-shaped beam of water that
creates harsh, high-velocity hot spots directly in front of their nozzles while leaving the
deep lower corners of your tank stagnant. The Gyre 4K completely bypasses this design flaw by
utilizing dual transverse turbine cages to push a uniform, horizontal sheet of water straight
across the pool surface. When this linear stream strikes the opposite glass panel, it splits
down toward the substrate, rolling detritus across the sand bed and back up toward the intake
for complete water column turnover.
This specific "Pump Only" configuration is optimized strictly as a component piece, lacking a
standalone manual control driver or its own wall power adapter. It serves as an exact
factory-direct replacement for a worn-out wet block or acts as an affordable add-on expansion
pump for users utilizing a centralized smart controller framework. By coupling this standalone
unit with a HYDROS WaveEngine or WaveEngine LE module (via a direct terminal connection link),
you unlock complex cloud-based scheduling, random wave generation modes, staggered nocturnal
flow drop-offs, and complete feed-cycle synchronization through your home Wi-Fi network
without adding extra electrical cord tangles inside your filtration cabinet.
Key Features:
Clears Out Equipment Cabinet Clutter: Direct-drive engineering allows centralized
smart hubs to feed power and control signals down a single cord, removing separate inline
boxes.
True Total-Tank Gyre Current: Sweeps the entire length of your aquarium display
layout without blasting sensitive, flesh-expanding stony corals with focused friction
streams.
Asymmetric Reversible Current Flow: Features multi-angle directional cages and
color-coded interior rotor blades to allow full reverse-mode operations, mimicking real
ocean tidal drags.
Note: This package contains only the core wet pump block, magnetic base plates, and
standard spare rotors. Power supply cables, terminal hub link adapters, and physical
electronic drivers are sold under separate product categories).
