Wave & Flow Pump Tips: 

Wave / Pulse Mode
This mode simulates a thriving reef environment. Wave pumps change speed frequently, simulating waves or surging water currents. Great for mixed reef aquariums.
Stream Mode
This is the default flow mode, pumps create a steady stream of water flow.
Night Mode
Turning on Night Mode will reduce water flow in wave pumps by 30% during the moonlight setting. (Note: Not recommended when regular flow setting is <50%).
Feed Mode
Temporarily shuts wave pumps off and reduces flow pump flow for 10 minutes, allowing fish and corals to feed. Pumps ramp then ramp up to normal speed.
( Note: if using a sump protein skimmer that is water level dependent, we recommend turning this mode OFF to ensure your skimmer does not overflow.)

• Never attempt repairs yourself; return the appliance to an authorized service facility for service or discard the appliance.
• Carefully examine the fixture after installation and BEFORE you plug it into the GFCI wall outlet. Be sure there is no water on any part of the light fixture or the timer.

• Never operate a fixture that is damaged or malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately, and return the appliance to an authorized service facility.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Always unplug the fixture when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. Never pull the cord to unplug from the GFCI.
• Do not use the fixture for anything other than for intended use. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the fixture manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition and will void your warranty.
