The Red Sea ReefWave 45 is a high-capacity, commercial-grade gyre-style wavemaker engineered to provide silent operation, massive water movement, and a highly uniform, cross-flow current throughout medium to large marine reef aquariums. Utilizing advanced cross-flow technology, it pushes water evenly across the entire surface of the tank to eliminate stagnant zones without blasting corals with a single, harsh linear jet.
Core Technical Specifications
Maximum Flow Rate: 15,000 Liters per Hour (3,960 Gallons per Hour).
Power Consumption Output: Scales dynamically from 8 Watts to 45 Watts depending on the active flow intensity and wave pattern.
Recommended Tank Size: Tailor-made for aquariums spanning 50 to 130 Gallons (120 to 200 cm in length).
Glass Thickness Compatibility: Includes a heavy-duty magnetic mount suitable for glass up to 20mm (3/4") thick.
Dimensions: Powerful yet sleek profile measuring 12.4” L x 3.1” W x 2.0” H.
Key Performance Features
Cross-Flow Gyre Technology: Unlike standard propeller-style powerheads, the twin directional cages pull water from the bottom of the tank and push it uniformly across the top surface, creating a continuous, looping gyre current.
Sine-Wave Silent Motor: Powered by an advanced, electronic sine-wave motor drive that dampens operational vibrations, resulting in whisper-quiet performance even at maximum output settings.
Dual Directional Flow Cages: The two independent flow cages can be rotated and adjusted to different angles, allowing you to customize the forward and reverse water paths simultaneously.
Control and Smart Functionality
The ReefWave 45 includes a physical, wall-mountable manual controller for quick adjustments, but it is built to unleash its full capability via integrated Wi-Fi linking directly to the Red Sea ReefBeat App. Through the smartphone interface, you can select from multiple preset wave modes—such as Regular Gyre, Uniform Surge, Random Pulse, or Alternating Gyre—and map out a fully customized 24-hour daily flow schedule. The app also features a global feeding mode that temporarily ramps down the flow to keep food from vanishing into your filtration system.
