Saltwater Pumps & Powerheads

Cobalt Aquatics MJ Series Multi-Purpose Powerhead Pumps

$ 33.99

Cobalt Aquatics MJ Pumps

The Original MJ multi-use submersible pump and power head is built to perform and last under the harshest conditions. Ideal for wave makers, protein skimmers, calcium reactors, nano aquariums, under gravel filters and hydroponic applications.  

Includes: 

Fully rotational output
• Fully sealed intake for internal and external use
• Universal intake tube
• Adjustable hanger with cord guide and 6ft power cord
• Adjustable venturi with silencer
• Triple suction cup mount
•  Large intake screen for use with sponge

SPECIAL NOTE for REACTOR users:

The MJ pump is the perfect pump for use with reactors on reef aquariums. One thing to understand is that reef aquariums have high levels of calcium, in fact at almost saturation levels, and areas with slightly higher temperatures can have active and dramatic precipitation of calcium on parts, ie impellers and impeller shafts.

In as little as 4-5 months, calcium can build up enough to stop an MJ pump. Calcium build up is NOT covered by the warranty, but is easily kept in check with routine maintenance.

Every 2-3 months, take out the MJ and remove the impeller, soak in distilled vinegar for 15-20 mins, then scrub parts with an old toothbrush and work the impeller up and down shaft to break up and mineral deposits. Rinse with fresh water and re-install impeller and MJ into system.

This simple maintenance will keep your MJ running like new for years.

The Vectra Advantage

• Cost Savings

Traditional AC pumps when used as a return pump for your sump are flow controlled through the use of a choke valve. This is method of control is inherently inefficient for two reasons. 1) The AC pump purchased must often be over-powered for your given setup to allow for flexibility. 2) By adding artificial impedance to your flow, electricity is wasted. The Vectra pump will always operate at the optimum efficiency because there is no need to use a flow restricting valve to achieve your desired flow rate.

• Active Feedback

When used with the ReefLink, your Vectra pump can send you performance and status alerts right to your mobile device or computer. Your return pump is the heart of your aquarium; the faster you hear about an unexpected issue the more successful you will be as an aquarist.

• Quiet Operation
• Controllability

modes

LAGOON MODE Lagoonal Random Mode simulates a low-energy lagoon environment. The speed of the pump is changed slowly to recreate the gentle currents of a lagoon.

REEF CREST MODE Reef Crest Random Mode simulates a high-energy reef environment. The pump will change speed frequently and drastically to simulate crashing waves and surge tide. This is a favorite of SPS Corals.

GYRE MODE Gyre Mode creates a flow pattern consisting of uniform clockwise and counterclockwise flow levels pulsing at a selected interval between two seconds and two hours.

SHORT PULSE MODE Short Pulse Mode creates a flow pattern consisting of uniform high and low flow levels pulsing at a selected interval between 0.2 seconds and two seconds.

TIDAL SWELL MODE Tidal Swell Mode (TSM) creates a harmonic balance reminiscent of the changing flow conditions found in nature. over the course of several hours, the flow pattern will go from very chaotic to calm, followed by a detritus-clearing surge at the very end of the cycle. The flow direction will change direction every cycle.

NUTRIENT TRANSPORT MODE Nutrient Transport Mode (NTM) creates circulation in a two-phase program. The first phase uses wave motion to stir up detritus. The second phase follows with a surging motion to move the detritus into the overflow and out of the aquarium. This mode promotes maximum health, nutrient export and increased growth for sensitive corals such as SPS.

FEED MODE At the touch of a button all VorTech wirelessly enabled pumps will temporarily pause their current mode and idle allowing food to be added to the tank without being cycled into the overflow and filtration.

NIGHT MODE Pumps can be enabled to run a gentler night time program simulating calmer ocean conditions for the night time hours.

MULTI-PUMP COMMUNICATION All "w" denominated VorTech pumps come with an RF module installed. The RF module will allow up to 8 "w" pumps of any type to work together in sync, anti-sync or coordinated modes.

ESL VIA A MOBILE DEVICE (ReefLink and internet connection required) All "w" denominated VorTech pumps are compatible with ReefLink. ReefLink provides completely wireless access to the world of EcoSmartLive, the web-based aquarium command center from EcoTech Marine.

Hydor Koralia Nano Evolution Circulation Pump

$ 32.99

Compact, energy saving, this Hydor Koralia Nano Evolution Circulation Pump is ideal to recreate in aquarium the natural and beneficial water motion of rivers and seas. Supplied with patented magnet-suction cup support for easy and safe positioning, Koralia can be connected to a controller and set to intervals of seconds, minutes or hours. Cable protector include (read instructions for correct positioning).

Are the Koralia Nanos safe for use on wavemakers?

Yes. Like the Koralia Evolutions and Magnums, the Koralia Nano 240 and 425 are designed to handle operation on wavemakers and timers.

Is it normal to hear a click when the Koralia Evolution starts-up?

Yes. You may hear a slight clicking sound when the Koralia Evolution starts-up. This is caused by the impeller resetting itself by hitting the rubber bumper on the inside of the front cover. Removal of the bumper will prevent this noise but, without the bumper the Koralia Evolution can run in reverse.

IceCap 3K Gyre Generator Flow Pump

Sold Out - $ 149.99

Crossflow Water Movement

Similar to the Maxspect Gyre flow pump, the IceCap 3K is capable of generating the iconic GYRE water movement within aquariums without breaking the bank. Single magnetic mount makes the pump simple to install. 5 Controllable flow modes and programable 24hr flow period. 

Crossflow Technology 

• Virtually no dead spots
• Evenly distributed flow rate throughout the entire aquarium
• Water bounces back from the other side to create a full circulation, ie. generating "gyre flows"

Standard Propeller Nozzle Technology

• Dead spots with relatively poor water movement
• Very strong flow in the center, making coral placement very difficult
• Very weak flow near the other end of the aquarium

Why Gyre Generator and not Wavemaker?

Wavemakers excel in making waves, while waves are spectacular to watch in motion, they are in fact moving the majority of the water vertically up and down, with relatively low horizontal movement, especially near the bottom of the aquarium.

On the other hand, gyre generators excel in moving sheer flow of water from one side of the aquarium to the other. The sheer flow of water is so strong that i would bounce back from the opposite site to achieve full circulation within an aquarium, ie. generating "gyre flows".

Maxspect Gyre Generator Flow Pumps

$ 139.99

What are Ocean Gyres? 

Gyres are ocean current systems that basically move the water in a circular way. A spiral oceanic surface current driven primarily by the global wind system and constrained by the continents surrounding the three ocean basins (Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian). Each ocean basin has a large gyre in the subtropical region, centered around 30° north and south latitude. Smaller gyres occur at 50° north latitude in the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The direction of a gyre`s rotation is determined by the prevailing winds in the region, with the large subtropical gyres rotating clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.

Next Generation of Water Moving Technology

The Maxspect Gyre is the world's first "gyre"- generating water moving device for aquariums. Compared to traditional powerheads and wavemakers that are based on propeller nozzle flow technology, the Maxspect Gyre is based on advanced crossflow technology which produces massive horizontal water movement leaving little to no deadspots in its wake.

Gyre Generation New Crossflow Technology 

• Virtually no dead spots
• Evenly distributed flow rate throughout the entire aquarium
• Water bounces back from the other side to create a full circulation, ie. generating "gyre flows"

Standard Propeller Nozzle Technology

• Dead spots with relatively poor water movement
• Very strong flow in the center, making coral placement very difficult

modes

Pulse Mode Wave Simulation:
Set maximum and minimum velocities as well as pulse duration. Creates natural alternating currents ideal for smaller aquariums with only one controllable pump. Two pumps can be set to pulse together or in inverse mode.

Interval Mode Tide Simulation:
Generally best mode for two pumps on opposite sides of the aquarium. As one pump pulses between two set powers, other stays on low speed. The pumps then swap roles based on setting, from minutes up to hours. Also useful for creating gyro currents.

Sequential Mode Surges and Swelling Currents:
Used with three or more pumps, generally in larger tanks. Pumps are triggered cumulatively. Pump one begins, then Pump two is added to that, then Pump three is added together with One and Two and so forth. Timings set by user.

Random Flow
Combination of Pulse Mode and Sequential Mode.

Oscillating Mode
Pump channels can be used as Wave Controller with automatic search of resonance frequency. Oscillating mode switches between Pulse Mode pumps and Waveboxes.

Food Timer
Allow all pups to be stopped at the push of button. Pumps restarts automatically after a period of roughly ten minutes (or adjustable time period on 7096). During food timer operation, all pumps twitch periodically to keep small fish from entering pumps.

Moonlight with Moon Phase Simulation
Natural, soft white moonlight with 29-Day cycle of waxing and waning. Can be synchronized with actual moon phases.

Night Mode Operation
Option to have pumps and Waveboxes run at lowest speed automatically whenever main aquarium lights are off. Triggered by photocell built into moonlight.

Storm Desedimentation
Can be set to run at intervals of hours to days. Runs pumps in short, aggressive mode to stir any settled detritus.
