Precision Recirculation.
From Nano to Large Reef.
The TMC Reef Pump range delivers high-flow, energy-efficient DC recirculation for marine aquariums of every size.
Variable speed control, whisper-quiet operation, and built-in smart features — engineered for serious reef-keepers.
Built for the demands of reef-keeping
Every Reef Pump is engineered around one principle:
the right water movement, precisely controlled, at the lowest possible energy cost. Here's what sets the range apart.
20-Speed Variable Control
Dial in the exact flow your system needs — from gentle trickle to full power — with a smooth 20-step controller. No on/off shocks to livestock.
Integrated Feed Timer
10-minute auto-pause at feeding time. Press once, feed in peace, and the pump restarts automatically — no manual intervention needed.
Soft Start Protection
Gradual ramp-up on every restart extends impeller life and avoids sudden current spikes that can stress sensitive corals and fish.
Energy-Efficient DC Motor
Latest-generation brushless DC technology delivers high flow rates at a fraction of the running cost of comparable AC pumps. Runs cool and quiet.
Proven TMC Engineering
Designed and tested by a team with 50+ years in marine. Spares and replacement impellers are stocked — this is a pump you can run for years, not a disposable.

Which Reef Pump is right for your system?
Not sure where to start? Here's a practical guide matching pump to application.
Nano & Small Reef (under 100L)
A compact tank demands quiet, low-heat recirculation without over-powering delicate corals. The 500 DC's 12V supply keeps heat input minimal.
Reef Pump 500, Reef Pump 1000
Mid-Size Reef (100–300L)
The sweet spot for most home reef systems. Variable speed lets you tune flow around rockwork and frag racks without dead spots.
Reef Pump 2000, Reef Pump 4000
Large Reef & Sump Return (300L+)
High-volume systems need serious flow without the heat penalty. The 4000–8000 range handles both display circulation and sump-to-display return duties.
Reef Pump 4000, Reef Pump 8000
