• 24V DC system with sine wave control and a multi-stage coil motor — supports smooth, quiet operation.
• Two pump sizes, with maximum flow rates of 1150 GPH or 1600 GPH — match the pump to the aquarium length.
• Magnetic mount — position the wavemaker on the aquarium glass.

Aquariums need water movement across the tank, not just a concentrated current in one spot. FZONE’s crossflow design creates a wide, even flow intended to reduce dead spots and circulate water throughout saltwater or freshwater setups. Its adjustable modes make it suitable for tailoring water movement to different aquarium conditions, while the feeding pause gives fish and corals a brief break in flow.

How does the FZONE crossflow wavemaker circulate water?

Its crossflow design distributes water in a broad, even pattern rather than producing the point-based turbulence of a traditional propeller pump. The flow is designed to mimic natural ocean currents and help eliminate areas with little circulation. The 24V DC power system uses sine wave control and a multi-stage coil motor for smooth, quiet operation.

• Designed for both saltwater and freshwater aquariums.
• LCD display provides real-time digital feedback while you adjust settings.

Which wave settings and feeding features does it offer?

The wavemaker provides Constant, Pulse, Tidal, and Turbulent modes, with power adjustable from 40% to 100% and frequency control across 18 levels. Press the one-touch feeding pause to stop flow for 10 minutes while feeding fish or corals.

• Choose among four modes to vary the movement of water.
• Use the feeding pause to create a temporary break in circulation.

Which FZONE pump size fits my aquarium?

Choose by aquarium length: the FZ-1200 has a maximum flow rate of 1150 GPH and suits tanks up to 60 cm (23.6 inches); the FZ-1600 reaches a maximum of 1600 GPH for tanks from 60–120 cm (23.6–47.2 inches). Compare your tank length with these ranges before selecting a size. The wavemaker attaches with a magnetic mount.

• FZ-1200: for aquariums up to 60 cm (23.6 inches).
• FZ-1600: for aquariums 60–120 cm (23.6–47.2 inches).

This wavemaker suits aquarium owners who want adjustable, wide-pattern water circulation and a dedicated pause during feeding. Select the pump size according to tank length: the FZ-1200 serves tanks up to 60 cm, while the FZ-1600 is intended for tanks 60–120 cm long.
