Product Description
AI Axis 20 Centrifugal Water Pump
AI Axis 20 Centrifugal Water Pump is a compact controllable DC return pump for nano aquariums, small all-in-one systems, desktop reefs, and compact freshwater or saltwater setups that need quiet adjustable water movement.
AI Axis 20 Return Pump for Nano Aquarium Systems
The Axis 20 brings app-based control and calibration features to a small centrifugal pump format. It is useful as a return pump in compact aquariums, nano sumps, rear-chamber filtration systems, and small circulation applications where a basic fixed-output pump does not offer enough control.
Axis 20 Smart DC Pump Features
- Quiet energy-efficient DC motor for small aquarium return and circulation use.
- Smart control through myAI, Mobius, or Apex Fusion with a compatible MXM module.
- Schedule mode allows custom programs with changing flow over time.
- Feed mode temporarily reduces flow to help prevent food from being pulled into the overflow.
- Calibrate mode helps set minimum and maximum flow levels for the aquarium setup.
- Compact size is well suited for nano tanks and tight filtration chambers.
- Includes two barbed output nozzle sizes for common small-system plumbing options.

Axis 20 Nano Pump Placement Notes
Confirm the selected nozzle and tubing size before installation. The Axis 20 should be placed where it remains fully submerged and accessible for cleaning. Use calibration and scheduling to match the pump output to the aquarium’s overflow, rear chamber, or return plumbing instead of forcing excess flow through undersized plumbing.
AI Axis 20 Setup Directions
- Select the output nozzle that matches the tubing or return plumbing being used.
- Install the pump in a submerged location with adequate intake clearance.
- Connect tubing securely to the barbed output nozzle.
- Connect the power adapter and pair the pump with the preferred app or compatible controller setup.
- Use calibrate mode to set appropriate minimum and maximum flow levels.
- Start at a lower output and increase gradually while checking water level, noise, and overflow behaviour.
- Clean the pump regularly to remove calcium deposits, algae, and debris from the intake and impeller area.
