Aquarium Flow Pumps & Wavemakers

Aquarium flow water pumps, sometimes referred to as power heads, are designed for maximum aquarium water movement and can be used with both saltwater and freshwater aquariums. These fish tank pumps do not have inlets or outlets for connecting to plumbing or other equipment. Many of these pumps, such as the Hydor Koralia, have a very large round outlet. In recent years, we have seen the emergence of gyre-style flow pumps, such as the Maxspect Gyre and IceCap Gyre. The more sophisticated flow pumps either have a controller or can be connected to a controller to create wave flow.Related Products:Submersible Pumps for AquariumsFlow Pumps & Wavemakers for AquariumsIWater Pump Replacement Parts.
