1. Basics
Apart from a good filtration and illumination, water movement is one of the most important
matters for optimum and healthy conditions in a coral reef aquarium.
The organism have aligned themselves with the always changing currents in a day/night rhythm. A
continuous water current is essential for the provision with nutrients and oxygen and the
transportation of waste substances.
WAVE creates natural current conditions to avoid „dead zones" in the aquarium.
2. Features of WAVE
Pumps
To create a continuously repeated current pattern, one to three powerheads and one filtration
pump can be connected at the WAVE. Most of the standard circulation pumps up to 100 Watt can
be used as powerheads.
Changing pumps
The WAVE can be adjusted to every aquarium by choosing one of the 8 different current programs.
The switch mode of the 3 current poumps is varied as follows:
Pump 1 0 0
Pump 2 0 0
Pump 3 0 1
Number 0 1
Position of the switch
Mode 0 „standard"
Mode 1 „storm"
Mode 2 „wave"
Mode 3 „sunny day"
Mode 4 „reef"
Mode 5 „beach"
Mode 6 „ocean"
Mode 7 „random"
The filtration pump is switched on long-term. The frequency of pump changes can be adjusted with
the knob on the front panel. The highest frequency is received at „-"; the lowest at „+". An
automatic soft start of the pumps takes care of the impeller to prolong its life-time.
Test mode
By pressing the test-button, the choosen program (mode 1 – 7) is shown in quick modus. The
change of pumps can be watched by the green LED´s. During this time, the status LED flashes
every 0.5 sec orange. If you press the test button during the night, the pump change is indicated,
too and the status LED flashes green every 0.5 sec.
Day/Night Rhythm
In natural, in coral reefs there is often a weaker current during the night than during the day. This
day/night variation is simulated by the WAVE. During the day, 0 - 3 powerheads work
simultaneously in alternation; intensity and direction of the current vary.
During the night, only one powerhead works. It changes the rhythm as adjusted so that the current
direction continuously changes also during the night.
