🔑 Key Features
-
Smart Wireless Control: Seamlessly programs and adjusts flow rates in precise 1% increments via the myAI app or Mobius app. [
- Apex Integration: Supports full automation through Neptune Systems’ Apex Fusion when paired with the MXM Module.
-
Anti-Siphon Calibration: A smart feature that runs the pump at a near-idle, zero-flow state during feed modes rather than turning it off completely. This prevents back-siphoning and eliminates the annoying microbubbles caused when a pump restarts.
-
Coordinate Modes: Syncs easily with other AquaIllumination devices so that a single button press enters Feed or Maintenance mode across your entire system.
-
Ultra-Quiet Running: Operates on a brushless DC motor equipped with silicone vibration-absorbing feet for near-silent performance.
