AI Axis 40 Centrifugal Pump – Smart DC Aquarium Return Pump (400 GPH)

The AI Axis 40 Centrifugal Pump delivers powerful, precise, and whisper-quiet water movement for aquariums up to 40 gallons. Designed by Aqua Illumination, this compact DC return pump brings advanced smart control features typically found only in much larger, high-end systems.

With built-in wireless control, output calibration, and intelligent feed and maintenance modes, the Axis 40 gives you complete control over your aquarium’s flow. Using the myAI® or Mobius app on iOS or Android, you can easily customize schedules, coordinate multiple AI pumps, and fine-tune performance to match your tank’s exact needs.

Thanks to its innovative anti–back siphon functionality, the pump continues to run at neutral flow instead of shutting off completely—helping prevent siphoning and air bubbles when resuming operation. Quiet, efficient, and feature-packed, the Axis 40 is the perfect return pump for modern reef and freshwater aquariums.
