Wave Makers

Central to the idea of creating a more natural environment in the aquarium is the use of two or three powerheads to circulate the water completely in the tank. The advantages are:

a. Elimination of DEAD ZONES in the tank.
b. Suspension and removal of pollution via the overflow system.
c. Creation of GLITTER LINES on the surfaces and sand.
d. Maintains adequate oxygen levels.
e. Keeps the fish / corals active and promotes the periodic SKIN REMOVAL of soft corals.

The OCEAN RUNNER, SICCE, MAXI JET powerhead pumps come in various sizes and can be connected to the AQUA MEDIC WAVE machine, which automatically varies the pumps in a random manner. The wave machine has SOFT START electronics, which protect the pumps from burn out.

The RE-CIRCULATION pump (sump) is also connected to the WAVE MACHINE.
There is also a FEED BUTTON which when activated ALL water movement is halted so that minimal food is wasted when feeding the fish.
A LIGHT SENSOR attachment is also available which when attached the sensor sensors night turns off two of the powerheads which will insurers the tank is not over circulated at night when compared to the daytime cycles.

AQUA MEDIC WAVE - 3 x 1. Facility for three powerheads and one return pump.
There are various other methods of creating a wave action, such as.
A powerhead that has a wave action movement on it. By using this method you can create a more realistic simulation of the ocean by putting powerheads on either end of the tank and creating a tidal action. For example you would be able to run to powerheads on the left-hand side for six hours, then turn those off and run the other two on the other end for six hours creating an incoming and outgoing tide.
Either way when one has used a method described above only then does one realise the importance of using such a piece of equipment.
