Octo Pulse 4 Wave Pump with HYDROS WaveEngine LE Controller
Max flow: 4,500 GPH | Power: 11–32 W | Tank size: 80–500+ gallons
Includes: Octo Pulse 4 pump with magnetic mount, HYDROS WaveEngine LE controller and power supply.
Mount fits glass or acrylic aquariums up to 5/8 in. thick.
Massive water movement
The Octo Pulse 4 is a fully controllable flow pump that moves up to 4,500 GPH and draws no more than 32 watts. Its broad flow encourages coral growth instead of blasting corals with the harmful "hot spots" associated with other wave pumps.
Direct flow where you need it most
The 360° magnetic mount lets you aim the Octo Pulse precisely. The rear of the pump has a convex, rounded shape that sits in a concave mounting magnet, so the pump can gyrate in any direction. The low-profile mount offers a 25° range of motion, and the whole pump rotates 360°.

- 360° range of adjustment
- Articulating magnetic mount
- Strong rare-earth magnet impeller
- Compact, durable construction
- Silent operation
- Waterproof magnet mounts
- HYDROS WaveEngine and WaveEngine LE Direct Drive compatible

HYDROS WaveEngine LE: app-based dual pump control
The WaveEngine LE ("Light Edition") connects directly to the pump head, so you don't need a separate pump controller or power brick. Connect up to two pumps, set the minimum and maximum speed for each, and run them together in presets such as sync, anti-sync, triangle wave, square wave and sine wave from the HYDROS app.
