Big Pump Features
The Axis Pumps deliver advanced functionality typically found in larger and more expensive systems. With features like full control, wireless smart device programming, DC motor quiet operation, and output calibration, Axis pumps offer exceptional value and versatility.

Key Features:
Coordinate Feed/Maintenance Modes: With a single button on one pump, you can control all your AI pumps, turning them on or off for feed or maintenance modes effortlessly.
Prevent Back-Siphon: Calibration ensures that instead of shutting off completely, the pump continues running without producing flow, preventing siphoning. This avoids air bubbles when the pump resumes its scheduled operation.
Tailored for Small Tanks: The Axis 20 is perfect for tanks 15 gallons or less, providing a compact yet powerful solution.
Wide Range Compatibility
Despite their small footprint, Axis Pumps offer compatibility with a variety of applications. With interchangeable barbed nozzles, they cater to diverse setups and provide maximum adaptability.

Nozzle Sizes (Barbed):
Axis 20: Small: 0.5 in. (12 mm), Large: 0.625 in. (16 mm)
Axis 40: Small: 0.625 in. (16 mm), Large: 0.75 in. (20 mm)
Axis 90: Small: 0.75 in. (20 mm), Large: 1 in. (25 mm)

Initial Care Instructions

Once your coral arrives, float the sealed bag in your aquarium for 15–20 minutes to equalize temperature. Then, begin a drip acclimation process or slowly add small amounts of tank water to the bag every 5 minutes over 30–45 minutes.

2. Inspect and Dip:

Before placing the coral in your tank, inspect it for pests or hitchhikers. We strongly recommend using a coral dip solution to remove potential parasites or algae. Follow the dip instructions carefully and rinse with clean saltwater before introducing to your display.

3. Placement:

Start the coral in a low to moderate light and flow area to help reduce stress. Over the next week, gradually move it to its ideal lighting and flow conditions based on species needs.

4. Monitor Water Parameters:

Ensure stable water parameters (alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, salinity, etc.) and maintain good tank flow. Watch closely for signs of stress or tissue recession and adjust placement if necessary.

5. Patience Pays Off:

Corals often take a few days to fully open up after shipping. Give them time to adjust—avoid sudden lighting changes or overhandling during this period.
