AquaIllumination Orbit 2 Cross-Flow Pump
The AI Orbit 2 delivers a dynamic cross-flow current that mimics the natural tidal motion of the ocean. Designed to move water across the entire length of your tank, this unique pump helps lift detritus and excess nutrients from the bottom, making it easier for your filtration system to remove them. Ideal for tanks 20 gallons and up, the Orbit 2 creates a powerful, sweeping flow that promotes coral health and water clarity.
Cross-Flow Technology
- Natural Tidal Motion – Circulates water in a looping current to simulate real reef conditions
- Debris Lifting Action – Helps suspend waste for effective removal by your filtration system
- Perfectly Paired – Combine with AI Nero pumps to create the full spectrum of oceanic flow: directional, chaotic, pulsed, and reverse
Smart Control Compatibility
Like all AI equipment, the Orbit 2 comes with built-in smart control:
- myAI App – Intuitive setup and scheduling
- Mobius App – Alternative app control for advanced users
- Apex Fusion (via MXM) – Full integration with Neptune Systems for seamless ecosystem management
Reversible Flow Function
Unlike standard pumps, the Orbit 2 features reverse flow capability, enabling you to push water in either direction. Use a second Orbit pump to run in reverse for dual-directional cross-flow - enhancing water movement and increasing nutrient export across the entire tank.
Pump Modes
- Constant – Continuous, steady flow at your chosen speed
- Pulse – Alternating high and low flow for rhythmic movement
- Random – Simulates unpredictable reef surges
- Reverse – Push water in the opposite direction for alternating circulation
