Jebao MLW-20 Smart Wave Maker
The Jebao MLW-20 Smart Wave Maker is a powerful, compact circulation pump designed to create natural, high-flow movement in reef and marine aquariums. With WiFi and AP-mode app control, you can easily adjust the flow and create the type of water movement your aquarium needs right from your phone.
The MLW series is made to provide broad, powerful circulation without taking up much space inside the aquarium, making it a great choice for reef tanks where good flow is essential for coral health, gas exchange, and keeping detritus from settling.

Recommended Use
Position the pump to create broad circulation across the aquarium rather than pointing it directly at corals. For reef tanks, alternating or randomized flow can help prevent dead spots, move nutrients toward corals, and keep waste suspended so it can be removed by your filtration system.
Note: The MLW-20 is a strong circulation pump. Start at a lower speed and gradually increase the flow while observing your livestock and corals.
Collapsible content
LIGHT
LOW: Place coral at the bottom of the tank. Depending on the type, coral may need to be placed off sand and therefore mounted on a ceramic disc of piece of rock.
MEDIUM: Place coral at mid-range of the tank. Best placed/glued on top of a rock scape at mid-range height.
HIGH: Place coral from mid range to just below water level. SPS coral are shallow growing so they require and are able to tolerate intense light.
FLOW
LOW: Most soft coral do well with a small, gentle pulse. There are certain corals that can even be placed in areas of indirect flow, meaning places aside a rock structure or set into a entrance to a cave style space.
MEDIUM: Many LPS types of coral prefer medium pulse current. Most Euphyllia or corals that have more tissue structure connected to their skeleton, don’t like to be in a high flow area like the direct flow of the wave pump.
HIGH: Similar to high light, SPS enjoy being in some heavy current. Most LPS and SPS that branch encrust or plate prefer high flow that simulates the top water waves.
SKILL
ENTRY: While some may say beginner level, "Entry" is a good term to be used when starting out in the world of corals and marine life. Prior to adding livestock, you want to ensure that your reef has the proper parameters including zero levels of ammonia and nitrite. Seeing traces of nitrate in your waters is a good sign - just keep them at a lower level of 2ppm to 10ppm. Maintaining correct temperature and salinity are a huge factor to stable parameters. Starting to monitor your PH, alkalinity, calcium and magnesium is a great habit to get into to keep a successful reef.
While some soft coral don’t require too much light, having a proper reef light that puts out the proper pars is very important. You'll also want to have a good amount of flow and protected rock areas, as placing corals in their happy spot is ideal for success.
