Red Sea ReefWave 45 Pump
Silent – Smart – Powerful
Based on Gyre patented cross-flow technology, ReefWave smart pumps are nearly silent, smart, powerful, and easy to maintain. They provide an optimal REEF-SPEC water flow for corals in a wide range of reefscapes, regardless of their position in your aquarium.
The combination of an advanced, smooth-running and energy-efficient sine-wave motor drive, with superior vibration damping mounts and dual bearings on all models, makes ReefWave a nearly silent pulsing wave pump.
You can control each ReefWave pump locally through its own dedicated controller or remotely via the built-in Wi-Fi that connects easily to Red Sea’s ReefBeat app.

The ReefWave 45 provides consistent water flow without disturbing the corals. I use it in a 120-gallon reef tank and noticed a significant improvement in water movement. The remote control via the ReefBeat app is very convenient. It runs quietly and has been reliable for over six months.

Great flow for my live rock setup. The pump is quiet and doesn’t create strong currents that stress the corals. I appreciate the dual bearings and smooth operation. A bit more expensive than basic models, but worth it for reef care.

Installed it last month and it’s been working perfectly. The cross-flow design ensures even water distribution across the tank. I can adjust the flow from my phone, which is a big plus. No vibrations or noise issues even during long runtime.
