Applicable for glass or acrylic aquariums up to 1/2 in (20 - 80+ gallons)
Includes: Pulse 2 pump, power supply and new WiFi Controller with mounting cradle.
Generates Massive Water Movement
The 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 of water movement will encourage coral growth instead of blasting it away with harmful "hot spots" associated with other wave pumps. Suitable for aquariums with a 20-80gal water volume.
Direct Flow Where You Need It the Most
With its 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!
Multi-Function WiFi Controller
The new Octo Pulse WiFi Controller can now power two Pulse Flow Pumps simultaneously and easily adjust flows modes via onboard control or with the intuitive OCTO App available for both IOS and Android devices. The controller works with both OP-2 and OP-4 Pulse Flow Pumps.
Features
- App Controllable
- 4 Pre-programmed Flow Patterns
- Dual Feed Mode (15-60min)
- Single Controller to Control & Power 2 Wave Pumps
- 0-10V 3rd Party Control Capable
Universal 0-10v Control
For all those that desire more versatility, the Octo Pulse can link up to most 3rd Party Controllers by using an available 0-10v port. This makes the pump very versatile and almost universally compatible with most system controllers including the HYDROS Control 4, HYDROS WaveEngine, APEX by Neptune Systems, or the Reef Angel among many others.

Octo Pulse 2+ Wave Pump FAQs
What comes with the Octo Pulse 2+?
The Octo Pulse 2 pump, a power supply and the Octo Pulse WiFi Controller with mounting cradle.
Can one Octo Pulse WiFi Controller run two pumps?
Yes. The controller can power two Octo Pulse pumps at once and works with both the Octo Pulse 2 and Octo Pulse 4.
Can an Apex control the Octo Pulse 2+?
Yes. The controller's 0-10V port links to most third-party controllers, including the HYDROS Control 4, HYDROS WaveEngine, Neptune Apex and Reef Angel.
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 with one of the 4 preset patterns at low intensity and increase until polyps sway without being blasted.
