I had one gyre in 75 placed horizontal and it moved a lot of water but I felt it wasn't to great to have my flow going the same way all the time. So I added another one on the other side and they turn on at opposite times and I couldn't be happier now.

Also if you plan to get the gyre and use the alternating mode to get the water flowing the opposite direction, don't it barely moves any water in reverse. You could probably add a gyre and keep one of your other pumps to add more varied flow.
