Jebao SLW-10 Wave Maker with Controller – 1065 GPH

Meet the Jebao SLW-10 Wave Maker with Controller, a compact powerhouse designed for marine reef aquariums. Its small footprint fits tight sump and display setups, yet its output is capable of creating lively currents that help keep water motion dynamic around coral colonies and rockwork. This combination of size and performance makes the SLW-10 a versatile choice for hobbyists who value both space and impact in their water movement.

Smart, durable design

The SLW-10 uses an external drive controller, keeping electronics outside the pump body for longer life and easier maintenance. A 24V, 10-watt motor delivers steady power while staying noticeably quiet, so you can run it around the clock without drawing attention to the equipment area.

• External drive controller keeps electronics out of the pump, promoting longevity
• 3D big rotation angle to direct output precisely where you want current
• Master and slave wireless control for synchronized flow in multi-pump setups
• Super quiet operation with a max flow of 4000 L/H (1065 GPH)
• Compact dimensions 1.5" x 2.25" dia; 24V 10W power

Real-world reef tank flexibility

In mixed coral environments, adjustable flow helps prevent stagnant zones, supports gas exchange, and facilitates even nutrient transport. Position the outlet to energize currents along rock arches or near delicate colonies, creating natural-looking movement without overpowering inhabitants.

For larger tanks, the SLW-10 pairs well with other SLW models. The master-slave wireless control lets you maintain coordinated motion across multiple units, and the unit’s quiet operation minimizes disruption in living spaces.

Fit, function, and setup tips

Thanks to its compact form, installation is straightforward in most reef setups. The strong yet adjustable flow gives you flexibility to tailor movement to your tank’s layout and inhabitants, from fast surface swirls to gentle mid-column currents.

• Place the outlet to disrupt potential dead zones along the tank periphery
• Coordinate with another SLW unit via master-slave mode for broader coverage
• Start at moderate flow and adjust to protect sensitive corals
• Regularly inspect the controller area for dust and moisture
