Jebao SCP-90 Cross Flow Aquarium Pump with Controller for Broad, Adjustable Wave Flow

The Jebao SCP-90 is a cross-flow aquarium pump designed to circulate water throughout the tank and create wave-like flow, with an assumed output of 2,700–3,300 GPH (approximately 10,220–12,490 L/h).

• 360-degree cross-flow circulation — directs water around the pump to help avoid dead spots.
• Evenly distributed flow throughout the aquarium — creates a broad current rather than a single localized flow pattern.
• Multiple controller modes — lets you choose normal, pulse, timed, reef, and feed settings.
• Compact 11 × 2 × 1.5 in (27.94 × 5.08 × 3.81 cm) pump — gives you the product dimensions for checking placement.
• 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz input and a 3-prong US plug — provides key electrical details for planning its connection.

Aquariums can need circulation that reaches across the tank instead of leaving still areas around the pump’s flow path. The SCP-90 is made to produce a different style of current from a conventional localized stream, with cross-flow circulation intended to move water throughout the aquarium and create flow similar to natural waves.

How does the SCP-90 move water through an aquarium?

The pump uses cross-flow technology to send the returning flow around it in a 360-degree pattern. This arrangement is designed to distribute flow across the aquarium and help prevent dead spots. Its assumed flow range is 2,700–3,300 GPH, identified for cross-flow across the whole tank.

• Cross-flow design returns water around the pump.
• Flow is intended to be evenly distributed throughout the aquarium.

What flow patterns and settings can I choose?

The controller provides several flow options, including normal output, a pulse-style wave-box function, timed clockwise flow, and reef and feed modes. Select H for normal flow, with speed output set through the controller, or W1 for the wave-box function and pulse-style operation.

W2 runs normal mode with clockwise flow for a set period from 4 to 99 minutes. W3 combines normal mode with reef mode and a 10-minute feed mode, giving you different operating patterns from the same pump.

• H: normal flow with adjustable speed output.
• W1: wave-box function for pulse-style flow.
• W2 and W3: timed clockwise flow, reef mode, and feed mode options.

What are the pump’s dimensions and electrical requirements?

The SCP-90 measures 11 × 2 × 1.5 inches and uses a 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz input with DC 24 V and 25 W power specifications. It comes with a 3-prong US plug, so compare the plug and electrical requirements with your aquarium setup before choosing a location.

• Dimensions: 11 × 2 × 1.5 in (27.94 × 5.08 × 3.81 cm).
• Power specifications: DC 24 V, 25 W.
• Plug: 3-prong US type.

The Jebao SCP-90 suits aquarium keepers looking for broad, wave-like circulation with multiple controller settings and a compact pump footprint. Its cross-flow design, selectable operating modes, and stated electrical specifications make it a fit for buyers choosing a whole-tank flow pump.
