Reef Octopus Octo Pulse 2 Circulation Pump: High Flow Without the Drama

If your reef tank’s flow is more chaotic than helpful, the Octo Pulse 2 Aquarium Circulation Pump might just be the hero your corals have been waiting for. Built by Reef Octopus—a name reefers trust like clockwork—this compact but fierce little unit moves up to 1,600 gallons per hour with only 10 watts of power. That’s like tossing a leaf blower into your tank, except it won’t blow your zoanthids across the room.

Target Flow, Zero Stress – Reef Octopus Octo Pulse 2 Precision Movement

The magic of the Octo Pulse 2 lies in its ability to direct water exactly where your reef needs it. With a 360° magnetic mount, this pump pirouettes like it’s auditioning for Cirque du Soleil—landing flow precisely where you want it. Its sleek, convex rear nestles into the mount’s concave base, giving you full rotational flexibility and a 25-degree vertical pivot range for added finesse. No more dead zones, no more coral tantrums.

Custom Waves with the Octo Pulse Multi-Function Controller

Why settle for static flow when you can ride the current? The Reef Octo Octo Pulse 2 Pump Flow controller lets you set pulsing and surge patterns to match your reef's rhythm. Choose from four pre-programmed modes and even pause the action with a 15- or 60-minute feed mode—perfect for mealtime or maintenance.

Built for Modern Reef Setups: 0–10V Controller Compatible

Running APEX, Reef Angel, or another 3rd-party controller? The Reef Octopus Octo Pulse 2 Aquarium Circulation Pump plays nice. Just plug into a 0–10V port and you're good to go. It’s one of the few compact pumps in its class that supports advanced control systems out of the box, which makes integration a breeze for reefers with existing gear.
