  • Your coral will love you
Size: Orbit 4 Color: Black
Great product. Functional app. Works much better than a single direction power head. My corals and fish love it.

  • MEGA FLOW/Upgradable pump!
Size: Orbit 2 Color: Black
This pump is a power house! It’s so strong! Currently running at 2% on a 20 gallon long mixed reef. I enjoy the reverse flow capability as it removes waste from dead spots!! 10/10 recommended especially if you have plans to upgrade in the future!

  • Strong Flow and Easy to Control with App
Size: Orbit 4 Color: Black
This powerhead packs a punch. The flow is strong and keeps my 75g tank moving with no dead spots, which is exactly what I was looking for. The app makes it easy to set up and program different modes, and I like how quickly it responds to adjustments. The only downside is that you can’t fully schedule it to turn off—1% is the lowest setting available. Not a dealbreaker, but it would be nice to have that extra control. Overall though, it’s a solid piece of equipment that does its job well and is simple to manage. ... show more

  • It’s with it
Size: Orbit 2 Color: Black
Fast shipping and works great. The adjustability is why I ordered it. Just know it is super strong. I have it running about 2 inches below the surface to simulate surface tension and run it at 1 percent.

  • Great wave maker, even better with app control
Size: Orbit 4 Color: Black
Very powerful, ended up having it run pretty low flow rate as it is a monster at moving water. While there are cheaper wave makers out there, the apps makes it worth it for me as I have multiple AI products.

  • STRONG!
Size: Orbit 2 Color: Black
Very powerful. Has really brought the lights alive. Be careful, the flow in a 6' tank can wash your rocks pretty hard.

  • Solid Build, Premium Feel and Silent.
Size: Orbit 2 Color: Black
I'm new to the saltwater hobby, having spent a year contemplating keeping reef aquarium, and this is my first experience with AquaIllumination. I’ve heard good things about the brand on forums, and I must say, I’m pretty impressed with the first product I’ve tried. The packaging was a bit excessive, as the product came in a large box, but it was well-protected inside. I really like the teal-colored interior packing material—it’s a nice touch that ties in with the brand’s aesthetic. Inside the box, you get the wavemaker, a power adapter (with multiple prong options), a manual, and a packet of woven wire mesh sleeves + cap. The wavemaker itself feels well-built, and I love the teal fin on the unit. The setup was straightforward—the wavemaker is held in place by a strong magnet on the outside of the tank, and I like that it’s mounted on a soft rubber base to prevent vibrations. The cord leading to the remote is long and generous, which makes it easy to position the remote wherever you need it. I also like that the power adapter is universal, with multiple prong adapters included, so you can switch them based on your location. While this isn’t strictly necessary, it’s a nice touch that helps them sell the product in various countries without issues. Once plugged in, the wavemaker works with a simple button press on the remote to start – there is only one button. It does a great job of circulating water around my tank. Since I’m just starting out, I have a 20-gallon tank, and the Orbit 2 wavemaker (rated for 20+ gallons) is perfect for my setup. I’ve mounted it close to the surface of the water, and it creates mini-waves that really add to the dynamic look of my tank. One downside I have is the manual—it’s simple, but it’s missing some information. For example, I didn’t know the Orbit 2 has the option for single-side operation until I watched a YouTube video. The cap is included, but it wasn’t specified in the manual on how to disassemble the unit or how to use this feature. Also, the wavemaker can be controlled via the AI app or Mobius wasn’t mentioned in the manual. As a beginner, these are things that would have been really helpful to know upfront. I imagine experienced hobbyists might be aware of these features, but for someone new to the hobby, more detailed instructions would have been beneficial. Overall, I think this is a fantastic product. It performs excellently, moving a lot of water while staying super quiet, and the premium packaging creates a great first impression of the brand. However, it would be even better if the manual included more helpful information for beginners like me who are new to using wavemakers. ... show more
