Top 10 Wave Maker Pump Questions (Answered!)
1. Do I really need a wave maker?
Yes, if you have:
- Saltwater corals (they require water movement for growth)
- Fish that thrive in currents (e.g., tangs, clownfish)
- Dead zones with debris buildup
The ZKSJ pump’s 8 flow modes mimic natural tides, keeping your tank clean and healthy.
2. How to choose the right size?
Formula: Tank volume (liters) × 5–20 = Hourly flow rate
Example: 284L tank × 10 = 2,840L/H
The ZKSJ Slim Pump covers 2,000–30,000L/H, fitting tanks from 40L to 1,500L—no guesswork!
3. Where to place the pump?
🔹 Beginner-Friendly Setup:
Mount the pump 3–5 inches below water level, angled toward the surface. Use the ZKSJ app to adjust flow without touching the device!
4. Are wave makers noisy?
Cheap pumps rattle—but the ZKSJ Slim uses brushless motor technology (<30dB), quieter than a library whisper.
5. How to save energy?
Traditional pumps waste power. The ZKSJ Slim cuts energy use by 40% while delivering stronger flow—saving $50+/year on electricity.
