Mantis Tourbon Wave Pump 200

Description

Mantis Tourbon Wave Pump 200 — Sine-wave pump for 150 to 180 cm aquariums

A long display, 150 to 180 cm end to end, needs a wavemaker with the flow to reach the far glass without the single-direction surge a smaller pump produces when it is turned up to compensate. Mantis Tourbon Wave Pump 200 (SKU: MA069303) is the largest model in the Tourbon range, a 24V DC wave pump rated at 18000 L/H, the highest output in the line by a wide margin over the 100 below it.

The maker rates the mount for glass or acrylic up to 19 mm thick, suited to the thicker panels typical of a large tank, and the pump runs the same five flow modes as the smaller Tourbon models: Constant, Stream Wave, Random, Pulsing and Cycle. Power draw spans 10 W to 35 W, and the sine-wave drive keeps the same low-heat, energy-efficient profile the maker describes across the range. It suits fresh or marine water in a single large display or a long frag system where one pump needs to cover the full length of the tank. Tanks under 150 cm are better served by the smaller Tourbon 100. The 24V DC supply keeps only low voltage at the aquarium, and the maker lists the Tourbon pumps as energy efficient with low heat output. At 18000 L/H it is three times the output of the Tourbon 100 and 4.5 times that of the 60.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Large aquariums: Tanks between 150 and 180 cm in length.
• Long frag or display systems: One pump covering the full length rather than several smaller units.
• Thicker glass or acrylic: Mounting on panels up to 19 mm thick.
• High-flow reef-style movement: 18000 L/H across the same five flow modes.

Installation & Setup Guide

• Verify wall thickness: Confirm the panel is within the 19 mm rating before fitting.
• Place the pump: Position it at one end so the flow travels the length of the tank.
• Start on a lower setting: Begin at a lower frequency given the pump’s high maximum flow.
• Select a mode for the tank: Use Constant for steady flow or Random or Cycle for varied movement across a long display.
