xSmart, compact wave control for healthier tank movement
The hygger Mini Wave Maker is a compact, magnetically mounted DC powerhead designed for 5–30 gallon aquariums. It delivers up to 1600 GPH of circulating water while staying discreet in small- and mid-sized setups. Measuring roughly 1.8 by 1.8 by 2 inches and powered by a safe 12V motor, this unit blends efficient performance with a quiet operating profile that won’t disturb your viewing experience.
Built to adapt to your tank’s rhythm, this device combines programmable flow with a smart LED controller. You can shape currents to mimic natural ocean patterns, align flow with sunrise and sunset, and even enable a feeding window that temporarily pauses movement for easy feeding without overthinking settings.
What makes it stand out
- Programmable wave profiles: customize current strength, frequency, and wave cadence to suit corals, plants, or fish behavior.
- Sunrise/sunset and feeding modes: recreate daily cycles and automate a 10-minute feeding pause for convenience.
- LED display controller: monitor and adjust pulse, flow modes, and timings at a glance.
Quiet, efficient, and easy to place
- Quiet operation: energy-efficient 12V DC motor minimizes noise while circulating water.
- Magnetic mount: strong magnet and suction provide flexible placement and quick removal for maintenance.
- Compact footprint: fits tight spaces and small-to-mid sized tanks without crowding the glass.
Tank compatibility and practical use
Designed for 5–30 gallon setups, this powerhead delivers reliable flow up to 1600 GPH. While built for versatility, users commonly run it in freshwater or saltwater environments with tank volumes around a quarter to a few dozen gallons. Its small form factor and adjustable flow help create gentle, directional currents that support healthy circulation and water movement in everyday reef or freshwater displays.
Maintenance and quick-start tips
- Placement: position inside the tank and keep fully submerged for optimal operation.
- Cleaning: if you notice reduced performance, clean the white pole and motor fan gently and inspect for debris.
- Troubleshooting: for common issues, reference the user guide and related product videos for step-by-step steps.
