It runs on Red Sea's ReefBeat app, delivering randomised, direction-alternating wave patterns rather than a single fixed jet, and adjusts from 10% to 100% intensity so the same pump can suit a lightly-stocked community tank or a demanding SPS reef.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGyre cross-flow design\u003c\/strong\u003e — moves a broad, low-velocity mass of water rather than one narrow jet, spreading flow more evenly and avoiding blasting fish or corals directly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10–100% adjustable intensity\u003c\/strong\u003e — run it gently in a nano community tank or flat out in an SPS-dominated reef, from the same pump.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForward, reverse and alternating modes\u003c\/strong\u003e — forward flow runs roughly 3× stronger than reverse, so alternating mode genuinely varies direction rather than pulsing the same jet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReefBeat app control\u003c\/strong\u003e — build a schedule of up to 10 time-slots a day, or run one of Red Sea's preset wave programs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeed mode\u003c\/strong\u003e — pauses flow for 30 minutes so food doesn't get blown straight into an overflow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-pump sync\u003c\/strong\u003e — group up to 3 ReefWave pumps for coordinated patterns across a wider tank.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMagnetic mount\u003c\/strong\u003e rated through glass or acrylic up to 15 mm thick — no drilling, no in-tank bracket.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpec\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eReefWave 25\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax flow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7,500 L\/h (1,980 GPH)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4–25 W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVoltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 V DC (external plug-pack supply)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eControllable intensity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10–100%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecommended tank size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45–120 cm (1.5–4 ft)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax glass\/acrylic thickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15 mm (5\/8″)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePowerhead dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 23 x 7 x 4 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCable length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eControl\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReefBeat app (WiFi) + onboard controller\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 months\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePerformance — flow and tank size\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRed Sea rates the ReefWave 25 for tanks from 45 cm to 120 cm along the mounting wall, at a maximum output of 7,500 L\/h. Intensity is adjustable across the full 10–100% range from the ReefBeat app or the onboard controller, so the same pump can run gently in a small, lightly-stocked tank or at full output in a larger, high-flow reef. Forward flow is roughly three times stronger than reverse, which is what makes the alternating and randomised wave modes feel like a genuine current shift rather than a pulse on the same jet. Red Sea does not publish an intermediate flow-rate table between 10% and 100% — treat the percentage as the pump's own reference scale rather than a fixed L\/h figure at each step.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor tanks toward the top of the 120 cm range, or wide tanks rather than long ones, running two ReefWave 25 units synced through the app generally gives more even coverage than one pump at full intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich one do I need?
