Reef Casa Watergun — DC Wave Maker Pump 2700 GPH for 25-60 Gallon Reef Aquariums - Reef Casa

With a maximum flow rate of 2700 GPH (10,000 L/H) and consuming only 20 watts, the Watergun offers powerful circulation in a compact format.

Installation and Use

Attach the Watergun to the side or back wall of your aquarium using the included mounting magnet. Connect the DC controller and select the desired wave mode. For SPS corals, a powerful and random flow promotes growth and nutrient transport. For LPS and soft corals, reduce power via the controller for a more moderate flow. Position the pump to create a flow that circulates around the aquascape without creating dead spots or direct current on delicate corals.

Compatibility with Reef Casa Aquariums

The Watergun is sized for larger Reef Casa aquariums: Laguna 24 and La Casa 35. It is also suitable for other brands of 25 to 60-gallon aquariums. For smaller aquariums (Pico 6, Studio 12, Tide 12), the Reef Casa Surf Mini 1600 GPH is recommended—the Watergun would be too powerful for these volumes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Watergun 2700 GPH and the Surf Mini 1600 GPH?

The Watergun offers 2700 GPH (20W) for 25 to 60-gallon aquariums, while the Surf Mini offers 1600 GPH (9W) for 4 to 25-gallon aquariums. Both include a DC controller with multiple wave modes. For the Laguna 24 and La Casa 35, the Watergun is recommended. For the Studio 12 and Tide 12, the Surf Mini is sufficient.

Is the Watergun too powerful for a 25-gallon aquarium?

The Watergun is suitable for aquariums starting from 25 gallons thanks to its DC controller which allows for reducing flow power. However, for a 25-gallon aquarium like the Laguna 24, the Surf Mini 1600 GPH is generally sufficient. The Watergun is particularly recommended for 35-gallon aquariums and larger, or for aquarists keeping SPS corals that require strong current.

Is the Watergun Wavemaker noisy?

The Watergun uses a DC motor which is significantly quieter than a traditional AC motor. Noise is minimal during normal operation. If vibrations occur, check that the mounting magnet is properly positioned and that the pump is not directly touching the aquarium glass.
