Wavemakers
Wavemakers create randomized water currents in an aquarium to simulate conditions in the ocean. They can eliminate “dead spots” in your aquarium by flushing out detritus and accumulated waste. This is especially important to corals, whose waste must be carried away from their tissue into the filtration system to be broken down and removed.

A lack of water circulation may cause corals to suffocate, while unidirectional current can irritate corals and make them close. Wave makers help eliminate these problems and enhance the health and growth of aquarium livestock.

There are three basic types of wavemakers. One type works by turning powerheads (sold separately) off-and-on or increases and reduces the flow rate to create a random flow throughout the aquarium. Examples include the Red Sea Wavemaster Pro, Tunze Single and MultiController and the JBJ Ocean Pulse Wavemaker.

The second type oscillates the water return line from your return pump or closed-loop system, generally sitting outside the aquarium or attaching inline to your return plumbing. Our best selling oscillating wavemakers are the WavySea, Sea Swirl and SCWD.

The third type of wavemaker is submerged inside the aquarium and pulls water into and pushes water out of a compartment within the unite, producing gentle wave action within the aquarium (see the Tunze Wavebox or Wave2K for examples).
Manufacturer
Aquarium Systems Natural Wave
A multi-cycle pump timer with six circuits that have timing patterns alternate on/off with adjustable periods.
Azoo Irrigator
A multi-outlet powerhead attachment designed to bring water movement into hard-to-reach, low-current parts of your aquarium.
Hydor Flo Rotating Water Deflector and Bioflo (with Aerobic Filter)
A rotating water deflector rotates 360° driven by the water flow of the filter/powerhead. Creates a natural and pleasant wave effect.
JBJ Ocean Pulse Wavemaker
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.
Neptune Systems AquaSurf Variable Speed Pump Module
Works with any of the Tunze Stream pumps that are compatible with the Tunze 7095 controller. 4 independent channels for control of 4 pumps. Independent variable speed control on all channels.
Red Sea Wavemaster Pro
Combines knowledge of the marine environment with microprocessor technology to create natural circulation currents within the closed system aquarium.
Sea Swirl Wavemakers
Oscillates the return from your existing pump 90 degrees every 60 seconds. Three sizes to choose from: ½", ¾" and 1" with maximum flow rates of 550, 850 and 1150 GPH respectively.
SCWD (Squid) "Switching Current Water Director"
"Switching Current Water Director". Provide alternating currents without the use of electricity. Mounts inline with 3/4" tubing, the two ports alternate the output, the bottom port is the input.
Tunze Wavemakers
The Single Controller (7091) and Multi Controller (7095) from Tunze are only compatible with Tunze Electronic, Stream and Nano Stream Powerheads (models 6101, 6201, 6301 and 6055) and, when combined, create natural wave effects in the aquarium.
Tunze Wavebox
A wave generator for aquariums from 52 to 317 gal (200 to 1,200 Liters). Creates a current that corresponds exactly to the wave structure and water movement in reef top zones.
Wave2K Wavemakers
Developed to give the marine hobbyist, for the first time, total water movement. Cycles between forward water motion (wave in) and the action of that wave going back out.
Wavysea Wavemakers
Create a natural simulation of the ocean waves in your tank without sacrificing too much space or money. The secret is in a patented rotating motor. It allows you to create waves in any direction in your tank!
Zilla "Power Center" Day/Night or Wavemaker Timer
