Orbit 4 Wavemaker

Smart Cross-Flow Technology for Natural Ocean-Like Circulation

The AquaIllumination Orbit 4 Wavemaker is an advanced cross-flow circulation pump designed to create wide, natural water movement throughout medium to large aquariums. Unlike traditional propeller-style pumps, the Orbit generates a sweeping, gyre-like flow that mimics natural ocean currents—helping eliminate dead spots and improve overall tank health.

With intelligent app control, reversible flow, and multiple customizable modes, the Orbit 4 delivers powerful yet controllable circulation for reef and freshwater systems.

Recommended Tank Size & Flow Capacity

• Suitable for aquariums: 75–450 L (20–120+ gallons)
• Flow output: up to ~15,000 L/h (variable output)
• Best for: medium to large reef or mixed aquariums

Key Features

• Advanced cross-flow (gyre-style) circulation system
• Smart control via Mobius / myAI / Apex (MXM compatible)
• Four flow modes:
  • Constant Flow
  • Pulse Mode
  • Random Mode
  • Reverse Flow
