Aqua Illumination Axis 40 Centrifugal Pump – 1500LPH

High-Performance Smart Return Pump for Small to Medium Aquariums

The AI Axis 40 is a versatile and powerful DC return pump designed for aquariums up to 40 gallons (approx. 150 litres). With a maximum flow rate of 1,500 litres per hour (400 GPH), it delivers reliable circulation and quiet operation thanks to its energy-efficient brushless motor.

It features wireless app-based control, allowing users to customise flow settings, create schedules, and activate feed or maintenance modes—all from the myAI® or Mobius app. Its built-in calibration ensures precise control, while a unique anti-siphon mode helps prevent air bubble issues.

Seamlessly integrates with Neptune Apex via the MXM module, making it ideal for both beginner and advanced reef keepers.
