Find a productProduct description
This circulation pump is intended for marine (saltwater) aquariums that need strong, adjustable water movement. It comes with a controller that lets the keeper set flow intensity and wave pattern, so the water motion can be matched to the tank and its inhabitants.
Why it matters
- Four operating modes: start/stop waves, smooth waves, continuous flow and random waves, selected on the controller.
- Fine power control: output is adjustable from 30% to 100% in 1% steps for each mode.
- Ceramic shaft: the shaft is made of ceramic, which is suited to continuous operation in saltwater.
- Transparent impeller housing: lets the keeper check whether debris has entered the pump or the impeller is clogged, and see how clean the pump is.

What it works with
The pump is designed for saltwater circulation in marine aquariums. Two intake options are supplied: a nose intake with a sieve that draws water from the bottom and keeps larger items such as ceramic pieces or rock fragments out, and a traditional large basket that separates coarser debris. The pump can be connected directly with hose connectors for 20, 25, 32 and 38 mm inner-diameter hose, or glued into pipe with sockets for 3/4", 1" and 1.1/4" pipe. The controller has a pocket for mounting it in a cabinet under the tank, and a PAUSE function lets the keeper stop the flow during feeding.
