Description
The Axis 90 is a DC-driven centrifugal return pump from Aqua Illumination, sized for aquariums up to 90 gallons with a peak flow rate of 925 GPH. It connects natively to the myAI and Mobius apps on iOS and Android, and can be integrated into Neptune Apex systems via the MXM module. Three onboard modes — Schedule, Feed, and Calibrate — give precise control over flow timing, feeding windows, and min/max output levels. A back-siphon prevention feature keeps the pump spinning without producing flow during shutdowns, eliminating air bubbles when the pump resumes. At 2.91" diameter and 7.75" tall, it is compact enough for most sump configurations without sacrificing meaningful head pressure (~10 ft).

The Axis 90 Centrifugal Pump is Aqua Illumination's answer to the demand for a smart, space-efficient return pump that doesn't cut corners on control. Running on a variable DC motor with a maximum draw of 40W, it delivers up to 925 GPH of flow with a max head of approximately 10 feet — practical figures for reef and fish-only systems in the 30–90 gallon range. The silent DC motor keeps noise to a minimum, which matters in living spaces where equipment hum is a constant irritant.

Control is handled through AI's established ecosystem. The myAI and Mobius apps provide scheduling, mode switching, and real-time adjustments from any iOS or Android device. For hobbyists running a Neptune Apex controller, the MXM module enables full Apex Fusion integration, allowing the Axis 90 to participate in automation routines alongside other Apex-connected equipment. This cross-platform compatibility is a genuine practical advantage rather than a marketing checkbox.

Three operating modes cover the most common pump management needs. Schedule mode lets you build a time-based flow profile with variable output levels throughout the day. Feed mode temporarily reduces flow to keep food circulating in the water column rather than being pulled into the overflow. Calibrate mode sets the pump's operational floor and ceiling — useful for dialing in flow precisely and ensuring the pump behaves predictably within your system's plumbing. Coordinated Feed and Maintenance modes allow a single button press on one AI pump to trigger the same mode across all connected AI pumps simultaneously.

A notable reliability feature is back-siphon prevention. When the pump would otherwise power off, it instead continues running without producing flow. This keeps the siphon break intact and prevents the air intrusion that causes noisy re-priming when the pump returns to normal operation. The pump ships with both a 0.75" and a 1.0" barbed output nozzle, covering the most common return line sizes, along with a power supply. Sump footprint is modest at 2.91" diameter — measure your sump chamber before ordering if space is tight, but this unit fits most standard configurations.
