Natural water movement is essential for the modern reef aquarium.
The Aqua Medic Wave is a microprocessor based controller that can operate up to
three circulation pump circuits and one filter pump circuit, to simulate natural
surge and wave effects.
The Wave can activate the pumps in 8 different programs to simulate many
different current patterns. Between zero and three pumps operate at any one
time. The activation frequency can be adjusted. The fourth channel (filter pump)
runs continuously but when feeding the aquarium's inhabitants, especially
invertebrates with planktonic food, a feeding pause button can be activated
which stops all the pumps, including the filter pump, for approximately 10
minutes.
An integrated light sensor ensures that during darkness no more than one
circulation pump is active at any time.
If you use the wave in the cabinet (durable darkness), you have to buy an
external light sensor to use the night rhythm
Each channel can be used for pumps up to a loading of 100 watts.
