Sine wave technology. **Q: Can you adjust the pulse frequency?** A: There are preset pulse patterns you can select, and you can adjust the intensity, but not the frequency. You have to choose from their available patterns **Q: What model is best for a 60 gallon saltwater tank?** A: I have a pair of SOW-8s in my 40 gal breeder and never use the higher flow settings. I’m guessing they would work great in a 60. **Q: Is the physical size between the 4 and 8 models pretty significant?** A: Not much difference ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good *by on Reviewed in the United States August 15, 2026* My favorite budget wave maker so far ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Careful! it is very powerful *by on Reviewed in the United States August 4, 2020* Update: June 2021:Both my SOW-4 units are still working fine. They are perfectly silent. No issues. I run one at 3 blue dots and other at 4 blue dots, because any more and they become too powerful for my 75 gallon freshwater DT with 9 Discus fish in it. I am ordering a SOW-3 today for moving media sump.Old review:I bought their SOW-8 version for my 60 gallon tall freshwater tank. It needs a wavemaker because of the tall design,water gets pretty stagnant and algae grows. SOW-8 is way, WAY too powerful. It uprooted plants, water almost blew over the tank edge if I pointed in the wrong direction. Even at the slowest setting SOW-8 is too much. I am returning SOW-8 and got a SOW-4. That works perfectly.BTW, the SOW-8 was very silent. I also tested the wireless pairing feature between the SOW-8 and SOW-4. Works perfectly. My only gripe is that the light sensor is built into the controller. It should be on a wire instead. This way, I have to keep the controller out where light from my LED can fall on it.Everything is controllable, speed, wavemaking pulses, night time speed is controllable separately.......night time disables fancy stuff.....just simple steady stream. I love these! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ SOW-8 Great size for 40 breeder aquarium…only one problem *by on Reviewed in the United States May 22, 2023* It’s just about the perfect size for my 40 gallon saltwater aquarium. I have it running on power setting 3 of 8. When I turn it up to full power it blows some of the crushed coral around. Plenty powerful. In fact I am getting another one just like it to put on the other side.I put this in my aquarium today and was a little concerned because it was kinda loud, but after adjusting the flow and turning it on and off a few times it is now barely noticeable. Maybe it had an air bubble in it, I don’t know. Now it’s working exactly as I had hoped.But here’s the problem. On the wire coming out of the control module there is a threaded nut that screws onto the connecter from the powerhead after you plug them together. The nut is on backwards and there is no way to get it off and turn it around. I’ve tried.I am reluctantly sending it back and ordering another one. Hoping the replacement works like this one without the connector problem.Update: I received my SOW-8 and now I have two on opposite sides of my 40 breeder. They both work great but I think I have a bit too much flow for my torches and “flowy” corals even on the lowest setting. I’m using the sine mode that slowly goes up then slowly goes down. I think I can work around this by moving some corals and aiming the wave makers at some rocks or more towards the surface. Maybe. Right now I have them about 1/4 of the way down the tank and aimed towards the surface in the middle. I don’t have them blowing directly on the corals.I also bought an SOW-4 thinking that it might be the perfect size for me. It’s not. The highest setting on the SOW- 4 is probably two or three steps lower than the lowest setting on the SOW-8.So, flow rate on the 4 is about where I want to be but no way to turn it up further to stir up the tank occasionally plus I’m not a fan of running it at max. The one I got was making rattling sounds also. Turning it up only made it worse. I’m sending it back and going to try a different one. I think it’s the luck of the draw whether they rattle or not. One of my SOW-8’s rattled for a short time also but it worked itself out.I wished they made an SOW-6 with flow rates somewhere between the 4 and the 8.Edit: After one year with two of these in my 40 breeder reef tank, they’ve worked great and are the perfect size for my tank. They would probably work very well on a 4’ long tank also. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy again. ## Frequently Bought Together - Jebao SOW Wave Maker Flow Pump with Controller for Marine Reef Aquarium (SOW-8) - CaribSea Arag-Alive 20 lb Fiji Pink Sand - Instant Ocean HoldFast Epoxy Stick, Fish Safe 4 oz --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.es/products/84712841-jebao-sow-8-wave-maker-flow-pump-with-controller-marine](https://www.desertcart.es/products/84712841-jebao-sow-8-wave-maker-flow-pump-with-controller-marine) --- *Product available on Desertcart Spain* *Store origin: ES* *Last updated: 2026-11-10*
