Risk notes
- Too little flow leaves dead spots. Too much direct flow can strip tissue from LPS and irritate soft corals.
- Price is marked as estimated, so verify current vendor pricing before treating the budget as final.
Professional fit context
- Check controllability, broadness of flow, glass thickness, GPH range, and whether two smaller pumps beat one large one.
- Reef Octopus Octo Pulse 2 Wave Pump fits roughly 20-80 gallon systems; confirm that range against the final display volume, sump volume, and livestock plan.
- Treat the displayed price as a budget placeholder until a reviewed vendor page confirms current pricing.
