Red Sea reefwave 25 magnets

[Thunderrap]

Does anyone know if the back magnet of the reefwave 25 is sealed so it can be submerged in the back of an AIO.

Yes, although I couldn't find anything in the manual. I own two 25 models.

Thank you! I thought so, they feel like mostly rubber and sealed. The manual aid nothing about them lol. I did email their support to ask so we’ll see what they say as well.

Before I purchased them I saw a video on YouTube where the posters mentioned they were sealed and placed the units inside their overflow box. I have them on the outside of my tank so I wasn't concerned but by my visual observation, they appear to be submersible.

Great wave pump by the way. Dead quiet, easy to clean and makes a lot of flow. I use two on a 50 gallon pentagon with one in reverse flow. I had MP10's but all three I have owned has suffered ceramic shaft failures.

For anyone interested, directly from Red Sea:


Dear Eric,



Thank you for contacting us. The external magnet of the ReefWave is completely sealed and waterproof. We installed ours into the overflow box as well in the office aquarium.

Not to Hijack your thread, has anyone ever replaced the magnets on a reefwave 25 with a stronger one for 3/4" glass. I want to use these on my 90 for the back of the tank pointing down behind the rocks. this will be a barebottom tank and i hate to buy the larger ones just for that....
