Thomas' 4ft SPS Dominant Powerhead Bundle

Finding the right powerhead combination to emmulate natural circulation patterns in a reef aquarium can be challenging. Why not take out the guesswork? We've asked a few of our long-time hobbyists for their recommendations based on their own trail and error-- they've done the experimenting, so you don't have to! Here, we've compiled Thomas' powerhead suggestions for a 4ft long SPS-dominant tank. 

Bundle Includes:

• 4x Reef Octopus Octo Pulse 2 Wave Pump (1600 GPH)
• 2x Red Sea ReefWave 45 Pump with Controller (3960 GPH)

Octo Pulse 2 Circulation Pump

Fully controllable and efficient the Octo Pulse 2 only consumes up to 10 watts of power but produces a nice broad flow that your fish and corals will love. The flow is pushed throughout your tank, eliminating "hot spots" and keeping your corals from being blasted. Direct your water flow right where you need it with 360 magnetic mounting and a powerful 1600 GPH from the Reef Octopus Octo Pulse Wave Pumps. Using a convex/concave mounting system the Octo Pulse pumps are able to be angled into almost any position you need. The angle can be changed up to 25 degrees and also rotated 360 degrees. 

• Adjustable magnetic mount with strong, rare earth magnets
• Compact, powerful, and silent
• Controller included with 4 preset pulsing modes & 2 feed modes
• 0-10V Control
