Creating Motion in Captive Oceans
The Ocean Pulse Duo and Quadra are an innovative wavemakers that were specifically designed to replicate the natural alternating rhythms of tides and currents for home aquariums.
These wavemakers instantly create turbulent flow patterns with adjustable alternating cycle times from 10 seconds - 6 minutes. All models are equipped with an adjustable dial(s) for quick and easy set-up for virtually all types of inverts, corals, filter feeders and fish who will gain immediate benefits.
Always research specific flow requirements for individual animals before making adjustments.
Water movement is vital for the success of invertebrates, animals with symbiotic algae, filter feeders anf fish. The natural currents in the ocean bring random flow and wave cycle patterns that provide nourishment while suspending waste particles for filters to effectively trap.
Benefits of Replicating Wave Patterns
Recreating water movement is essential for captive animals within our aquariums for long-term success. By installing the Ocean Pulse Wavemaker you will immediately be rewarded, as you see you aquarium transform into a cleaner, healthier and more natural environment.

My wavemaker has been in use continuously for 2 weeks now and works exactly as it was intended to work. It has been reliable ever since I initially turned it on and I have not had any issues whatsoever. I works equally well with a high frequency intervals (10 sec.)as it does with low frequency intervals (6 min.). I definitely recommend this product as works equally well as with other high priced wavemakers I had in the past. You cant go wrong for the price.

the controller does what it is supposed to, but it is a simple on/off switch. i am not sure if better power heads would handle that better, but my budget ones dont want to start smoothly at times after being switch off. the more expensive units would be a better choice i feel.

My wife and I have had our nano reef in the current tank for about 1 year, and had a hydor powerhead with one of the cheap $10 deflectors on the end of it. This work very well, we were very impressed with how well all of our corals were doing with the "simulated waves". However, we continued to have some alge problems from dead spots in the tank, so we decided to order this wave maker system. Upon arrival the wave controler was not functioning properly, only allowing the waves to be produced at the 10 second or 4 min interval. I called up Customer Service and they sent out a replacement unit for me, and up recipet of that I then returned the defective one.So with everything hooked up and working properly, the powerheads make a huge difference in the tank. All of our Zoa's and Softies are doing amazing with the waves et at 60 second intervals. The LPS also like the new powerheads and wavemaker. IN the past two weeks our tank has been crystal clear, with no alge noted in the tank. This was a great buy, and have already reccomended this to a friend.

Works freaking great!!! Not quite as fancy as the other super overpriced brands, but does the job just as well. First week of use, and I can tell the fish and coral dig it. The right l.e.d. indicator doesn't light up all the way, but I thought, "Who cares?!?!?". Definitely a great product at a sweet price!

I now own quadra wavemakers and one duop wavemaker for my various reef aquariums and I am very pleased with the performance of the unit,as well as the accompanying pumps. I have owned many JBJ products, including pumps,chillers and lighting units, and I have been very pleased with the quality and performance of all the products.

I have had a coral tank for about 2 years now but I am still learning. I have recently found the forum section on the website and it has given me so much insight into what I was doing wrong and what I am doing right. I have had constant issues with red slime and my snails would die too. I got two korila power heads and run them through the wave maker. I went with the 4 channel so I can add more pumps later. My fish loved the changes in water flow. It brought an entire new dynamic to the tank. This model is extremly affordable and you can select to run times from a matter of seconds to continious flow. The pumps are totally silent and the wave maker runs perfect. I am already seeing improvment with the top flats of my live rock. I would recommend this product to any new tank owner.

This thing is an excellent buy. If you want decent wave making and pulsating to keep you water from being a straight constant flow (which is bad) then this the proodut. Yeah, I have seen all of the high end wavemakers I'm sure they are great products, however, I bought 4 hydor evolutions and the quad JBJ and I have motion in the ocena and the corals are loving it. I had the Natural wavemake at one point that's decent too but this is better, just my two cents. You adjust the flow that you want. The only main difference with this then with the big dollar items is you don't have the push button modes. You just have dials that goes from seconds into minutes. Just tune in the flow you want and your done. Excellent product.
