Abstract
Two apparatuses are disclosed for providing a dynamically varying water surge in a salt-water reef aquarium. The first apparatus is a micro-controller based variable frequency reef surge drivefor an AC permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) submersible aquarium pump. Drivecomprises voltage conversion circuitry, xmicro-controller, reef-surge generation program, variable frequency drive, mode switchand tidal cycle switch. Three user-selectable modes of operation are provided: a random frequency mode, a fixed-program mode and a tidal mode. A second apparatus comprises a novel submersible AC PMSM pump with dual impeller assemblies and dual input and output chambers for supporting forward and reverse flow through an AC PMSM pump.
