I bought a FX250 along with the power supply and Icecap module for 0-10V control via Apex.I got it all running and like it very much.

I would like to buy another one but I find that it is retired. What is the replacement model that will work with another Icecap 0-10V controller?

Thank you for asking. The only pumps that work with the IceCap Module are the Gyre 200 and 100 series. The Gyre 300 series only work with the HYDROS WaveEngine.

Thank you for answering. So what is the biggest in the 200 series that is still available? Also what is the Icecap model that would best work with it?

The only 200 series pump that is still available is the XF280 but that is not compatible with the IceCap Module.

Please help me out here. You understand your product line. I don't. I need guidance on what to buy. Please tell me:
1. What is the biggest Maxpect Gyre pump, that is currently available and will run with a 0-10V Icecap control module?
2. What 0-10V Icecap model would I buy to run the Gyre model that you specify from question number one?

1) None. All Maxspect Gyre pumps that are compatible with the Gyre Interface Module have been discontinued. The Gyre Interface Module is also being replaced by the HYDROS WaveEngine controller. (https://www.coralvue.com/hydros-waveengine-3537)
2) I don't follow your question. Please paraphrase.

Perhaps the Icecap 0-10V module and the Gyre Interface Module that you mentioned are the same thing. I am asking about the 0-10V method of controlling a Maxspect Gyre. Is that method of controlling a Gyre totally discontinued? Are you no longer selling the Icecap module? Are you no longer selling any Gyre that can be controlled with an Icecap 0-10V module?

There is only one module that allows the Gyre to work with the APEX. That is the IceCap Gyre Interface Module. https://www.coralvue.com/icecap-gyre-interface-module-1650

Ok thank you. Now given that I will buy the Icecap Gyre Interface Module that you just referenced, what is the biggest of the Maxspect Gyre pumps that you sell that works with that module?

I think we are both referring to the same product. The Icecap Gyre Interface Module is the only product out there that allows you to connect a gyre 100 or 200 series to the APEX. Unfortunately, Maxspect has discontinued the Gyre 100 and 200 pumps and is no longer making them. The IceCap Gyre Interface Module is also not going to be updated so it can control the new Gyre 300 series because the IceCap Gyre Interface Module itself is being replaced by the HYDROS WaveEngine which can control Gyres 100, 200 AND 300 series.

After calling someone, I think that if I want to buy the biggest one available now, I would want to buy a "Maxspect FX230 pump and an "Icecap Gyre Interface Module For FX130/230 Pumps"

Unfortunately as I mentioned before, the manufacture is no longer making the XF230 pumps. You would now need to go with an XF330 pump and the HYDROS WaveEngine when it is available for sale in August 2019.
