IceCap FP-100 Aquarium Flow Pump

IceCap FP-100 Aquarium Flow Pump (IC-FP-100)

The IceCap FP-100 Aquarium Flow Pump (SKU: IC-FP-100) is an authentic, highly customizable directional wavemaker distributed by CoralVue to provide vital water circulation in standard freshwater aquariums and medium-format marine reef environments. Healthy water motion is the literal life support line of a closed aquatic ecosystem; continuous flow drives surface gas exchange to maximize oxygen levels, prevents stagnant pockets where organic waste can settle, and continuously carries nutrients to live plants and filter-feeding coral polyps. Large, bulky powerheads look incredibly distracting in medium aquariums and can easily create localized high-pressure hot spots that blow loose substrate around. The IC-FP-100 solves this design hurdle by pairing a highly compact, low-profile internal pump body with an advanced external digital programmer.

Measuring a streamlined 3.1 x 2.4 x 2.4 inches including its internal magnetic base, the FP-100 blends seamlessly into the background scenery of your layout, preserving your display's raw visual focus. Despite its modest proportions, the pump utilizes an optimized propeller array to generate up to 1,585 gallons per hour of wide, comfortable water movement. The included controller features a physical adjustment knob and digital buttons to jump between 10 micro-adjustable speed steps and 5 distinct wave patterns, allowing you to establish anything from a gentle freshwater stream to a dynamic, irregular marine reef surge. Engineered with safety protections like smart voltage monitoring and water-shortage auto-shutoffs, the IceCap FP-100 brings professional-grade water management features to standard home aquariums.

Key Features

• Five Presets for Dynamic Wave Action: Choose between Pulsing (surging waves), Constant Flow (steady current), Stream (gradual ramping speeds), Random (irregular reef currents), and Cycle modes.

• Automated Controller Security Lock: Features a built-in safety lock setting that temporarily disables the controller wheel and buttons to prevent accidental adjustment changes.

• Protects Livestock Health: Wide-angle output nozzle spreads out the water pressure, preventing high-velocity hot spots so medium fish and invertebrates can swim comfortably.

• (Note: This complete wavemaker kit includes the standalone FP-100 submersible pump body with integrated wet-side magnetic mount, independent digital flow controller, external dry-side magnet pad, and low-voltage DC power supply block).
