Product details
Axis Centrifugal Pump – AquaIllumination is a smart DC centrifugal return/feed pump designed for aquarium use. It’s built to help you run and program your pump output using compatible AI controls, so you can set schedules, reduce flow for feeding, and calibrate the pump to match conditions in your tank. Depending on the selected Axis model, it’s intended for aquariums up to 15, 40, or 90 gallons.
Features:
- Wireless control with smart app programming using myAI or Mobius on iOS/Android, or control via Apex Fusion using the MXM module
- Three built-in operating modes: Schedule (vary flow over time), Feed (temporarily reduces flow), and Calibrate (set max, min, and neutral flow levels)
- Coordinate Feed/Maintenance: use the control button on one pump to turn all AI pumps on or off
- Prevent back-siphon behavior: with calibration set, powering off can allow the pump to continue running without producing flow to help reduce siphoning when restarting
- DC motor quiet operation for lower-noise pump use
- Output calibration to match pump performance to your aquarium setup
