Massive Water Movement
The new Octo Pulse 2 is a fully controllable flow pump that moves up to 1600gph and consumes no more than 10 watts of power in the process. The broad flow water movement will encourage coral growth instead of blasting it away with harmful "hot spots" associated with other wave pumps.
Direct Flow Where You Need It the Most
With it's 360° magnetic mount, the Octo Pulse can easily get the flow precisely where you need it. The rear of the Octo Pulse has a convex rounded shape which fits neatly into a concave mounting magnet allowing the pump assembly to gyrate in any direction. The Octo Pulse's low-profile magnetic mount offers a 25 degree range of motion and the entire pump is capable of rotating 360 degrees!

Octo Pulse 2 Wave Pump - Pump Only FAQs
What comes with the Octo Pulse 2 Pump Only?
The pump and its magnetic mount, without a controller or power supply. Run it from a HYDROS WaveEngine or WaveEngine LE using the HYDROS Reef Octopus VarioS/Octo Pulse Direct Drive adapter, sold separately, or choose the Octo Pulse 2+ kit for a ready-to-run package.
What size tank is the Octo Pulse 2 for?
Aquariums of about 20 to 80+ gallons. It moves up to 1,600 GPH at 5 to 10 W, and the magnetic mount fits glass or acrylic up to 1/2 inch thick.
Octo Pulse 2 or Octo Pulse 4?
Choose the Octo Pulse 2 for 20 to 80+ gallon tanks and glass up to 1/2 inch. Choose the Octo Pulse 4 (4,500 GPH, 11 to 32 W) for 80 to 500+ gallon tanks and glass up to 5/8 inch.
Which wave mode is best for a reef tank?
There is no single best mode. Pulsing or random patterns keep detritus suspended and suit SPS, while many soft and LPS corals prefer gentler flow. Start low and increase until polyps sway without being blasted.
