What is WavySea?

WavySea is a Natural Real Wave-Creation System. It adds on to your already existing water pumps to create the most natural ambience of the open ocean you've ever seen. The secret is in the rotating head.

Is WavySea harmful to my fish?

WavySea 100% aquarium friendly. Whether it be your livestocks or your rocks. Only the MaxiJet powerhead is known to cause some temperature changes, but WavySea alone will not harm anything in your tank.

How does WavySea compare with other wavemakers?

WavySea is the unmatched champion of Natural Wavemaking; there is none other.  From design, to its construction, WavySea and other wavemakers are worlds apart.  We have made a comparison chart comparing the most popular wavemaker out there with WavySea HERE for your convenience.

I have a pretty small/large tank, will WavySea work and fit?

Yes! WavySea works on virtually any tank size whether it be 10 gallons, 1,000 gallons or 10,000 gallons because it works with your current water pumps. You adjust the strength of the wave flow by changing the strength on your current pumps. If you have more than one pump for your aquarium, you will need more than on WavySea. One for each pump.

Note: A 1.25" Mounting Bracket is available separately for those with tanks thicker than 3/4".  Other tank models with unique edges may require some trimming.   If trimming is not an option, easiest way to mount WavySea onto an edge that will not fit is simply to add a small wooden board on the side you want WavySea.  Attach the WavySea onto the board.

How is WavySea different from my current water pumps?

WavySea has many benefits beyond its looks compared to a traditional water pumps (including powerheads). It creates an oxygen rich environment that really makes your aquarium come alive. Its rotating motor creates waves that look like the real underwater ocean. For full details, see Product Info.

Do you offer installation?

We do not offer installation because WavySea is so easy to setup. It does not take hours to install WavySea. It's only a matter of minutes! The setup procedure does not require a professional to come in and install it for you.

Note: YOUR LOCAL FISH STORE may offer installation of WavySea.

What is the maximum GPH for WavySea?

WavySea is a work of engineering genius.  Our tests from over 200 locations have revealed that WavySea can handle maximum of 2,300 GPH (Gallons Per Hour)!  But of course, no device should be driven to its max.  It should be able to handle just about anything you throw at it!  For those that require more flow, WavySea Plus+ can handle up to 3,600 GPH!!!

More about the maximum limit: 2,300 maximum GPH will vary depending on many factors.  This includes water condition and even the climate of your residence (due to air pressure).

How fast does WavySea head rotate?

There are 6 speed settings for WavySea.  Each speed level is researched for maximum reef duplication to just about any tank size.  They are not arithmetically set but were determined through hundreds of hours of testing.  The following chart shows the time it takes WavySea to rotate 180 degrees one way.

  • Level 1 - 70 seconds

  • Level 2 - 56 seconds

  • Level 3 - 44 seconds

  • Level 4 - 28 seconds

  • Level 5 - 14 seconds

  • Level 6 - 12 seconds

What is 9 RMS Watts per year?

If you have WavySea plugged into a power conditioner, the RMS Wattage does not apply to you.  For the rest of us that use surge protectors or plug it directly into a wall, electrical current that goes into your electronic appliance differs.  Depending on your electronic device tolerance, the power consumption may differ by the second.  RMS Wattage is the average power consumption of the unit.  It is calculated by the second to however long a period.  Longer length of time means more accurate reading.  WavySea is impossibly energy efficient.  In a one year period, it consumes only 9 RMS watts of power.  Note that this does not mean WavySea uses 9 watts total in one year.  RMS Wattages are not calculated by adding time but by the average consumption during that time.  A good example would be a 100-watt stereo.  It cannot be labeled as 6,000 watts per minute but 50 RMS Watts in one minute.  The number 50 is just used as an example because a 100-watt stereo usually means 100-watt max.  Its average RMS Wattage may be far lower.

What is the difference between WavySea and WavySea Plus+?

Nearly 1,300 GPH difference.  WavySea Plus+ was specifically designed for high-pressure wave-creation.  The difference is that the Plus+ model can handle significantly more than the original WavySea.   The original WavySea can handle up to 2,300 GPH while Plus+ can handle 3,600 GPH.

How do I get the the maximum result out of my WavySea Plus+?

The 3,600 GPH of the Plus+ varies depending on many factors.  But to get the maximum, please follow the instructions on the back of the manual.  It has simple instructions on how to get the maximum output flow.
