Aquarium Wavemakers & Circulation Pumps

Explore aquarium wavemakers and circulation pumps at The Tech Den, including compact stream pumps, adjustable reef pumps and cross-flow gyre systems. Compare flow output, control options and mounting requirements to choose circulation equipment for your aquarium layout.

Stream pumps and controllable wavemakers

Browse AI Nero 3, 5 and 7, EcoTech VorTech MP10, MP40 and MP60, and Reef Factory Smart Wave models. The range also includes Fluval Sea CP pumps, Hydor Koralia, Tunze Turbelle, Sicce Voyager and Xstream, Eheim Stream ON+ and Aqua One ReefSim options. Control features differ by model: AI Nero listings include Bluetooth programming and built-in controls, while selected VorTech models feature Mobius control. Check whether a controller is included before ordering.

Gyre and cross-flow pumps

Compare Maxspect Jump Gyre, XF350 and XF350 Cloud Edition options alongside Red Sea ReefWave and Aqua Illumination Orbit cross-flow pumps. Maxspect Jump MJ-GF308 and MJ-GF316 are listed with maximum outputs of 8,000 and 16,000 litres per hour respectively. ReefWave 25 and 45 are listed at 7,500 and 15,000 litres per hour, with mounting guidance for glass up to 15mm and 20mm respectively.

Choose flow and mounting to suit your tank

Compare the manufacturer's aquarium-size recommendations, adjustable flow range, pump dimensions and maximum glass thickness. A high maximum output is not the only consideration: the flow pattern, positioning and available control modes also matter. Verify freshwater or saltwater suitability on the individual listing rather than assuming every model supports both.

Wavemaker spare parts and accessories

Find model-specific foam guards, rotor and impeller parts, service packs, bearings, extension cables and selected battery-backup accessories. Match parts to your exact pump series: ReefWave 25 and 45 service parts, VorTech MP guards and Maxspect Gyre extension leads have specific compatibility requirements. Check each listing for included components, availability and any additional delivery charges.
